We currently have a huge surplus of cheese. Got to do something with it.
Cameron Jones

Xavier Lee
Wonder where it's from?
Noah Wilson
I used to think “government cheese” was some kind of hip hop slang that the Wu Tan Clan invented
>mfw when it’s actual cheese
How socialist.
Michael Parker

Brandon Sullivan
You only get that if you choose to get the food instead of ebt, its also real cheese and the best cheese.

>now we give them credit cards with hundreds of dollars
Asher Phillips
One time in my life while i was with my ex gf she applied for welfare because she was a commie democrat
I pay $3,500 in taxes per month and i feel extremity guilty
Please CIA FBI DHS and ALL US GOV AGENCY FORGIVE ME IM SORRY
Julian Sullivan

Jaxon Gonzalez
Who else we gonna get cheese from?
Adrian Robinson
i dont think this program still exists.
John Clark
Cows.
Jason Morgan
You clearly never tried those cheese blocks, that shit is top quality cheese. If it was at stores it would cost at least $20 a block.
Benjamin Wright
That's C4.
Dominic Watson
>real cheese and the best
>”process cheese food”
They can’t legally call it just “cheese” even though they are giving it away for free. Still probably better than a lot of fast food. What other goodies can you get from big gov if you choose the food instead of EBT?
Robert Anderson
>cheese
first of all, it can't even be legally called cheese here, as noted on the label it's "pasteurized process cheese food"
Jaxson Anderson
Yes, and all the cheese in Wisconsin is produced in Wisconsin or even in the States right.
Anthony Gonzalez
>government cheese exists because cheese was too expensive for po' folk to buy cheese
>government invents the dairy subsidy to buy excess cheese then give it to dem po' folk
>dairy subsidy keeps price of dairy high/raises it
>cheese is still expensive and theres now 2 entitlement programs with all the associated waste and fraud that comes along with them
hmmm
Jaxson Mitchell
I chuckled.
Samuel Thomas
It is in stores. It's Velveeta.
Jason Ramirez
Gibmint cheese.
Zachary Campbell
White people should encourage their friends and family to ride the welfare train out of existence. Just don't let them grow dependent at any cost.
Every white person who doesn't go on welfare means more money for the blacks and browns infesting it. The people who pay taxes should be the people who collect, the system currently has providers and customers, racially separated.
Learn to kill your shame, we live in an age we are not evolved for.
Thomas Wilson
i often consider this
drumpf was my last hope at turning it around. now im a #Sleaze4Cheese
Jeremiah Murphy
Its actual real cheese not that stuff you see in slice packets or whatever.
Its not Velveeta.
Sebastian Howard
The cheese given out in the 1980s was top quality. The government had vast refrigerated warehouses full of it. Instead of paying to keep storing it, it was given away to the poor. Having a block of government cheese, even though high quality, was a sign of poverty and became an insult. Cheese lovers in the know started buying the blocks of cheese from poor people but the supply ran out before this became widespread.
Government peanut butter was common during this time period. It had no added sugar so it tasted like dirt.
Dylan Martinez
The US government buys excess food from farmers as back door welfare to the farmers, then ends up with literal warehouses worth of food that they need to dispose of. Giving the food to poor people or poor countries is seen as a win / win.
Joshua Parker
Americans don't, niggers in America do since they aren't even capable of feeding themselves (except in the movies)
Oliver Lewis
>It had no added sugar so it tasted like dirt.
The processed sugary shit is what tastes like fucking candy. The best peanut butter has no other shit, just peanuts and salt
the absolute state of this board i swear
Camden Price
>Still probably better than a lot of fast food. What other goodies can you get from big gov if you choose the food instead of EBT?
Generic brand canned food, bread, cereal, peanut butter and sometimes other things like fish.
Jack Hill
It's the good stuff cut from a block perhaps with paper between each slice just like it should be.
I fucking love cheese. The older the better.
Tyler Watson
i don't think they give this to anyone except senior citizens anymore
Jordan Scott
>Government peanut butter
Fuck I wish they still gave that out, while much thicker it was so much better than the current peanut butter.
Jack Clark
Land O'Lakes Easy Melt American Cheese is the closest you can get now to the government cheese of the 1980s, though it hasn't been aged like the government cheese of that era had been.
Liam Johnson
what? ive never seen that
there are lots of dairy farms near me
they sell their products in the supermarkets near me so i buy their cheese/milk/butter
Noah Anderson
>Thinking white people can get welfare
sorry, not even that great, m8
Jace Long
That's old school right there. Best grilled cheese toast eva
Noah Stewart
Ironically government cheese is of very high quality.
Ethan Martin
I was a child at the time. You're not wrong about commercial peanut butter being crap but to a child who was used to sugary peanut butter, the government stuff tasted terrible. Now if I want peanut butter I grind my own. The government cheese however was great. We made lots of grilled cheese sandwiches on store brand white bread. That's poverty for ya.
Eli Gonzalez
This is the only thing that left that can be legally called a pure 'white American' in the USA.
Lucas Jenkins
Thomas Butler
Thing I noticed about my cheese blocks is they don't have letters on them like in Ops image.
Hunter Hall
Great, another cheese thread! American Cheese is God's gift to Mankind. All europoors can fuck off with their faggot cheeses and bow before the greatness of the pasteurized process yellow ambrosia that is American Cheese.
Easton Wood
is this a meme or is does the american government really give out american cheese? literally "government cheese"? this is definitely a meme.
Elijah James
>pb without sugar tastes like dirt
>pasteurized process cheese food is top quality cheese
James Cooper
>Why do Americans get cheese from the government?
Because of agriculture subsidies. The government wants a lot of food produced(for a number of logical reasons including stuff like war and to keep rural areas from failing) and thus has excess supply that needs to be eaten.
Parker Perez

Aiden Lee
Cheese companies lobby to get the contracts to get rid of their plastique.
Easton Jackson
Nestle is scared to offer white chocolate anymore.

Brayden Long
that isnt even cheese. find cheese on the package
its also bosnia and Herzegovina flag
Wyatt White
They did in the 1980s.
The stuff from the 80s was top quality. You'd know that if you bothered reading the thread.
Liam Jackson
cheese cubed
Ethan Wilson
Always thought it was funny that Kraft wouldn't dare put the word cheese on their Mac & cheese boxes in Canada.
Angel Brown
this. now im gonna browse and see if i can buy some. i dont even regret buying the two dozen servings of mre cheese spread, so im likely making a good decision
Carter Wilson
>Numerous traditional unpasteurised European cheeses are quite literally illegal to import and sell in the USA.
DON'T GET A DISEASE
BIN THAT CHEESE.
Austin Smith
as an update, apparently land o lakes was the supplier, and it was just "Easy melt" or "american" style. neat. probably gonna order more mre cheese
Joshua Watson
lmao american "cheese" is disgusting
>raw dairy is illegal
>cigarettes and alcohol are perfectly fine
fuck fdaniggers
Brandon Howard
Because we subsidize farmers so fucking much that excess would go to waste if we didn't.
Parker Morgan
Yea food laws here are pretty strict on packaging. It has done nothing to slow down obesity or anything but nobody complains about it.
If people were just smarter and willing to cook it would all be doubly redundant.
Luke Ward
nothing beats american cheese on a cheeseburger. I can't eat it on anything else though.
amazing commercial.
David Collins
>The United States has amassed its largest stockpile of cheese in the 100 years since regulators began keeping tabs, the result of booming domestic production of milk and consumers’ waning interest in the dairy beverage.
>The 1.39 billion-pound stockpile, tallied by the Agriculture Department last week, represents a 6 percent increase over this time last year and a 16 percent increase since an earlier surplus prompted a federal cheese buy-up in 2016.
The surplus in the 80s was only 300 million lbs. Cheese is back on the menu, boys!
Brandon Cox
cheese on burgers and just about everything is totally unnecessary. All you need is hot sauce, mustard, and a FRESH tomato on a burger. Also don't get me started on cheese on salad
Jaxson Myers
I member the government cheese, it was real cheddar. Same with the peanut butter. Peanuts, salt, molasses. Did you ever get the cans of mystery meat?
Robert Harris
Cheesy explosives?
I'm sorry to whoever is reading this reply
Jack Sullivan
Farm subsidies.
Government pays farmers to over produce, then buys the surplus.
My tax dollars at work.
Mason Edwards
It's good cheese desu
Cooper Stewart
PB had molasses in it , not refined sugar.
Wyatt Green
that area under my foreskin
Adrian Bell
this is a boomer take. I understand that burgers without cheese is a totally different experience, but nothing satisfies you like a big juicy cheesy cheeseburger.
Noah Parker
In Canada kraft is not allowed to write cheese on the package. Because theirs no cheese in it.
They're called "kraft slices" and some packages say simulated cheese.
Matthew Barnes
Fumunda cheese is the only cheese worth arguing over.
Jose Cooper
>peak amerimutt
Ryder Barnes
molasses is still refined, it's just anywhere from 50-75 sucrose I think
Grayson Brown
Never received government mystery meat but the food pantry once gave us a can of Sweet Sue Whole Chicken. It was frightening. Pouring a whole chicken out of a metal can covered in what appeared to be chicken gelatin was like something out of a nature birthing documentary crossed with a horror movie.
Lincoln Jones
nice. I remember they used to give out blocks of butter that looked like that, outside of the church in NY where I used to live.
Butter for the poor or something i guess.
William Diaz
We're going to ship it to Venezuela as "aid" after we kick out Maduro.
Michael Barnes
I love this cheese how can I get some send to me
Jace Martin
All correct.
Ian Carter
Ah, here we go.
Jayden Bailey
True. I meant white sugar, or corn syrup.
Robert Perez
Adult white males don't get shit from the government
Jacob Long
Peanuts, salt, and some honey, but not a lot.
I also roast the peanuts beforehand.
Angel Peterson
Fucking nasty
Logan Allen
They were silver cans, labeled pork, beef, and chicken. Never mentioned what parts of the critters they canned, but I always figured it was shit that Alpo turned down. The pork made ok bbq. Mom made some kickass chicken and dumplings. But the beef was just wrong..
Brayden Wright
people are starving and they need government cheese.
protip: that cheese is fucking delicious. grew up on it as a poorfag.
Carter Thomas
it does. you have to be on food stamps and you can still get them (although very rarely) from food banks and shelters.
Dominic Lee
#metoo...where can I find the cheese in Op pic
Luis Perez
gov cheese is still manufactured and is what's used for military food as far as i know. it's very high fat and very high calorie and helps keep troops buff and all that shit.
and yes, the peanut butter was literally disgusting.
Jordan Thomas
i dont understand this. you have canned food for the convenience. if you have to debone the thing and cut it up yourself whats the point? theres canned chicken chunks like canned tuna out there
Ryder Thompson
>For food help programs
Go back to sleep on that road
Christian Harris
Jose Campbell
i don't know, i haven't seen ye olde 5 lbs brick of government cheese in decades. although like i said, you can supposedly get them at food pantries in limited quantity at random. also:
protip: Atari cartridges fit perfectly in the boxes. i literally have all my old atari games stored in gobment cheese cardboard.
Gavin Gutierrez
Well, it's high quality American cheese (like Velveeta); which is roughly comparable to being the finest ballerina in Wyoming.
Dominic Gray
Fumunda cheese
Easton Smith
Take the cheesepill
vox.com
All we gotta do is airlift this to Venezuela, if you win their stomachs, hearts and minds will follow.
Joseph Kelly
Can't fund universal health care if you've spent all the money on cheese
Alexander Roberts
ITT all these foreign cucks get salty because they don't get any cheese back from their taxes
