I grew up in a poor household in the 60’s and 70’s, and I still rememebr blocks of government cheese.

Me too. I remember when Food Stamps were actual stamps. I will never forget the shame on my mother’s face when she used them. She kept meticulous records and when she was back on her feet she wrote checks to the state to pay it back. She actually got a phone call asking her what she was doing and that she didn’t have to pay it back.
It was around 1977 or so I think.
