Rise in production comes just as exports are hit by strong dollar; can you eat three pounds more?
America has built up a glut of cheese so big that every person in the country would need to eat an extra 3 pounds this year to work it off.

My dogs will gladly eat more cheese. The show they put on getting rid of it should be good too.
Hey! Who cut the cheese?
Take heart amid the deepening gloom
That your dog is finally getting enough cheese.
Never enough from the dog’s perspective. Too much from their peoples’ perspective when they start getting constipated.
(And then she would complain about the sodium intake.)
Granted, we would usually use imported Gruyere, Fontina, Jarlsberg, Emmental, etc. Basically, whatever was cheapest and available.
Cheddar was just too overpowering as THE meal alone.
No problem with it, or Feta, on other stuff, or in salads.
I think my father paid about that for his '66 at the time.
They spread the surplus wide in the early '70s. My mother had just retired from teaching and it was made available to either retired teachers or any retired person and she picked up a box. I came around to visit and it was really good cheese.
One part of the federal government is telling people to eat more cheese, while another part of the federal government is telling people to eat less cheese.
Your stolen tax dollars at work.
Wallace and Gromit bump!
I paid $2765 total for my ‘64 ‘Stang rag top w/4 on the floor. What a beautiful car! It was that nice red!
There’s some variety of cheese in just about everything I eat already. Sorry, cheese-merchants, but I’m “dancing as fast as I can.”
Inflation Calculator If in 1964 I bought an item for $ 2765 then in 2016 that same item would cost: $21,001.80 Cumulative rate of inflation change: 659.6%
Sell em to countries who can’t feed themselves....

My boss got a red and white 64 convertible for our ‘errand’ car. It was only a six but lots of fun.
The cheese is pretty expensive, relatively speaking - but I have heard that it's head & shoulders above regular mozza.
I went to 4% full fat last year, instead of the normal 2% stuff.
There is a taste difference.
I have extremely fond memories of late night pizza in an alley by a Sicilian pizzeria, complete with the little round table and tablecloth, and a bottle of Glicine (Corvo). Margherita pizza with mozzarella di buffalo.
Oh my. That was some good eats.
One night, we didn’t polish off the Glicine and gave it to the pizzeria owner, who stood in the doorway, folded his apron down below his waist somehow, and drank the wine straight out of the bottle.
Great times.
I’m a cheesaholic! :-)
