What happened to the good ol days of government cheese.

Growing up I had poor friends and their house was always filled with tins of grain and a fridge filled with huge blocks of cheese and butter. I never thought much about it and didn’t realize that is what you got when you needed help feeding the family.

We were poor and yes we got commodities. We got everything, flour, sugar, lard, peanut butter, butter, cheese, canned chicken, etc. But......you really had to know how to cook to use them. People now do not know how to cook.
By the way, the government cheese was the best cheese ever. lol
