I remember back in the late 70’s the government having a similar expensive cheese surplus.

The USDA or whoever would drop off 10 lb blocks of American cheese at my grandparent’s senior apt. complex for anyone who wanted it. They would take a few blocks (hey it was free government cheese!) and give it to our family. It was good stuff.

Can’t imagine it helped cheese makers in the end, because it simply substituted cheese we would have bought elsewhere, and given the amounts, probably other foods we would have bought as well.

A spectre is haunting America — the spectre of cheese.

Any pizza with cheese on it other than mozzarella is a fraud. (’

Back before 1970 anyone eating government cheese was on government welfare and taking “commodities” because they could not “make it” in the real world.

Any trash pile on the side of the road (trash dumps closed) had lots of empty government cheese containers.
There was so much cheese that the recipients often gave lots of it away or to get beer money.
It really was good cheese!

“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.”

Awesome!

My dogs will gladly eat more cheese. The show they put on getting rid of it should be good too.

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.

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.”

“The only other poet that I can think of just now who seems to have had some sensibility on the point was the nameless author of the nursery rhyme which says: ‘If all the trees were bread and cheese’—which is indeed a rich and gigantic vision of the higher gluttony. If all the trees were bread and cheese there would be considerable deforestation in any part of England where I was living. Wild and wide woodlands would reel and fade before me as rapidly as they ran after Orpheus.” — “Cheese,” G.K. Chesterton
