My granddaughter, soon to turn 8, is an avid reader. For a couple years, I was disappointed to see her favoring the “comic book” type reading options. This past Christmas, I gave her 2 books of “classics” short stories. and now she has requested more “classics”.

For her birthday, we bought TWELVE “classics” for her, ranging from Heidi, to Swiss Family Robinson, to Call of the Wild. It makes me SO happy that she wants to go in that direction now.

It’s a government program. It’s working fine.

“milk is so expensive...

I’ve been getting milk for $1.29/gallon at Kroger for a while now. Don’t understand why Kroger’s price is so much lower than their competitors, but that’s where I get mine.

But I'm sure the program could use a little more money! /sarc

What’s the half-life of processed cheese? Yuk.

Unless I'm wrong...all cheese is processed. Where does it occur naturally?

A 1.4 billion pound surplus of cheese and 22 trillion dollars of debt.

This is how you can you tell your government is screwed up in its priorities.

That is great to hear. I read to my daughter when she was little and it paid off.
The other day, she asked me to send her some books for when she needs a ‘getaway’ from her chemistry grad work. She asked for Bradbury and Shellabarger (Prince of Foxes)!

Well, at least it’s AMERICAN cheese.

Can you imagine if they were stockpiling limburger?

Parma Reggiano is aged naturally, not artificially processed. Swiss is too, I think.

Back in the 90’s we got free cheese even though we weren’t “poor”. The county had so much on hand that after only two weeks of giving only to “qualified” people, they opened the door to give it all away as they had no way to store it.

Farm subsidies are a very tricky and oft not understood policy which can garner knee jerk reactions from many.

I can’t recall when it happened, many years ago, but decisions were made at the highest levels of our government to manipulate the percent of Americans income to keep the cost for food artificially low.

Americans pay the least amount for food, per capita, than any country in the world. Less than 10% of adjusted gross income. Whereas for example Germans pay a little over 20% and countries like the Philippines pay over 50%.
