I forgot where I read this but, the US taxpayer subsidizes dairy farms. The US taxpayers promote drinking low fat milk on thier behalf. The milk fats are removed to make cheese. In order to keep cheese producers (Kraft) happy, the US taxpayers buy and store the cheese.
It’s also why stores have entire cheese aisles.
***... the US taxpayer subsidizes dairy farms. ****
How true! We had a man working at our company making good money whose family also had a dairy farm. He did some figuring and said that if the Government would raise the subsidy on milk one or two more cents he would quit there and go back to dairy farming.
They didn’t so he stayed with the company. That was in the 1980s.
