And yet there is a such a surplus of milk that the US gov has bought the extra in order to keep cheese prices sustainable for the high number of dairy farmers, then turned the milk into a national stockpile of cheese and then sell it cheaply to help find the entire racket, for the last few decades.

Yeah when I start ranting about the government's cheese caves under Missouri people think I've finally cracked, but they're real. It started as a program to help farmers during the great depression, but by now it's just socializing the dairy industry and keeping prices artificially high. I don't think they sold it to fund the program though, they distributed it through food security programs.

There's gotta be better foods for the government to stockpile and distribute to the hungry than cheese though, it's tasty, but it's not great for you and it's not filling many nutritional gaps. Not to mention lots of people can't even eat it without getting sick
