[history]
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.

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.

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

Meh, white pizza usually has other kinds of cheeses and it’s just as much a traditional pizza as any.

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!

Awesome!

Why is it that Ford Mustangs cost over $20k when I used to be able to buy one for $2,368 NOT on sale.
