welfare!
This has been gong on for years. I remember some poor people in our neighborhood getting the cheese. And they did appreciate it.
Hmm, I figured she'd want to fatten us up before we're thrown into the soylent green mixer.
Follow the money right out of our wallets and into Obama’s, Hellary’s, etc.
You might as well have been feeding them tribbles from Romulan space?
The federal government also buys all the surplus milk from a dehydrating company. They then ship it to one of two companies in the US that rewets it, emulsifies it, adds vitamin D and trace minerals, pay for it in 2,000 pound sacks, then send it to warehouses until it's use by date expires, send it to a landfill, and repeat.
yep,
i wonder if they will buy all the surplus pigs and kill and bury them also ......like the the great socialist FDR did.
meanwhile, American’s were starving in soup lines.... pure evil.
Utilized to promote farm welfare.
They turn around and donate it to Indian groups and encourage poverty.
Government.
you can trade a six pack of beer or a can of cheeze wiz for 5lbs of gradeAAA commod chedder cheese on the Rez all day long..... lol
Yep. Government price fixing.
Let the market determine the price of cheese. Not the government.
We had great food in elementary school. Real cooks that were there before daybreak and made fabulous lunches out of all the government surplus food they received. LOVE the cheese.
The cheese is probably gotten from the milk to get the fat content down. Why is common cheese at the $5 to $6 a pound level, and cottage cheese at $3 to $4 level per pint when the suppliers can't sell it?
Let's see now, that's about $2 a pound for surplus cheese. Releasing it on the market would have driven the price down to a level that the people on WIC could have afforded it in the food mart.
I've heard that the dairymen are having a hard time making a living these days because people who want to be skinny won't drink milk. I guess the shoppers must be buying diet soda instead. Maybe that's on the WIC list, too.
This is making my head hurt . . .
Oh Lord. You just reminded me of the most terrible lunch ever. Navy beans, peanut butter crackers, canned kale and apple sauce. Many many decades after elementary school, I still remember that lunch.
Would that be the same government that dropped $1.5 billion of paper gold on the Comex earlier this week?
I think California is the biggest dairy state.
0bama is living the life of Richard Pryor’s movie “ Brewster’s Millions “ . When he leaves office the country must be completely broke ,,, Zilch , nothing left .
I have a better Idea, send it to food banks all over the US and LOWER the price and more people especially Seniors would buy more Cheese.
Think I’ll make myself a toasted ham & egg & cheese sammich right now.
Before food stamps you got vouchers that provided a 20 qt box of Powdered Milk, a 5 lb block of cheese and Peanut Butter per month.
