    We had government cheese in the late 90s and early 00s. Honestly, it was good. I don’t know wtf the difference between gubment cheese and American cheese was, but it was so much better than regular American cheese.

      The government cheese was created because the Carter admin miscalculated and encouraged dairy farmers to overproduce. They actually still have cheese in caves in Missouri.

      Government cheese had a shit ton of oil and less “cheese” im pretty sure. Delicious, and calorie dense for sure.

        Honest to goodness, it was freaking good. I’m sure the Europeans would absolutely die if they tried it, they’d be so offended we call it cheese, but it was good .
