How can you NOT eat brie rind? Once you've got the brie nice and runny (nothing worse than brie that still has a hard, chalky middle), you'd be throwing most of it away if you tried to remove the rind. Whether you eat the rind of any cheese is up to you. I might hesitate if the rind of a cheese was furry, multicoloured or covered in wet-looking oozy blobs, otherwise I scoff the lot. If rind on cheese was deadly, they wouldn't be allowed to sell you cheese with it still attached if you think about it. Which I don't.
