You can’t just quote the social media trend statement and not what is happening to the cause ‘extinction’ of a cheese, whatever that even means.
Edit: tl;dr: Penicillium camemberti is supposedly incapable of sexual reproduction so they clone it but that’s not working so great lately; no genetic diversity, etc.
Unlike most molds, Penicillium camemberti can’t reproduce sexually with other fungi to create new genetic diversity. As a result, cheesemakers have to clone it — but that has become increasingly difficult because of mutations that interfere with the fungi’s ability to produce spores.
I don’t see why they can’t be allowed to focus on the public responce as they provide evidence in there article to back up the cheese claim that is is “going extinct”. While its not completely true, it is true enough for the average individual. Additionally since the scientific backing is uncontroversial, there’s no need to focus on the reasoning (letting the curious research further if they desire) and most of there viewers probably won’t be as interested in the intracity of DNA cloning defects anyway.

… but they do?
I only see a quote about people cheese posting before the briepocalypse. Going into the article to find what you quoted is what my tldr is based on.

@Grass @BrikoX This is actually kinda weird. How do you wind up with a fungus that we can’t reproduce well without cloning it?
