Qxir | Why the US Government Hoards Millions of Cheese Wheels in Underground Caves @Qxir | Uploaded September 2022 | Updated October 2024, 18 hours ago.
Of all the things the US Government could be stockpiling in underground caves, cheese seems the least likely - but they've got over a billion pounds of the stuff!
"Government cheese is processed cheese provided to welfare beneficiaries, Food Stamp recipients, and the elderly receiving Social Security in the United States, as well as to food banks and churches. This processed cheese was used in military kitchens during World War II and has been used in schools since the 1950s.
Government cheese is a commodity cheese that was controlled by the US federal government from World War II to the early 1980s. Government cheese was created to maintain the price of dairy when dairy industry subsidies artificially increased the supply of milk and created a surplus of milk that was then converted into cheese, butter, or powdered milk. The cheese, along with the butter and dehydrated milk powder, was stored in over 150 warehouses across 35 states."
