The United States government pays producers to make "surplus" cheese.
It's falsely orange. It's salty as heck. It tastes vile. It is some form
of processed cheese that is wannabee American cheese. It's even worse
than Velveeta and a lot harder.
The cheese is packaged in huge loaves that are reportedly stored in
caves that only the Federal Government is aware of.
Government cheese is given away to schools and other institutions that
get funding from the government. Government and chartable organizations
will give it away to poor people.
Many years ago I was raising my 3 kids alone and was out of a job. The
township gave me some of that cheese. Thank goodness they also gave me
government powdered milk so I could dilute the cheese and make the kids
mac and cheese for supper.
(Glad I said "dilute" the cheese. I almost used a different phrase <g>)
