1960s. It was "surplus" cheese the government for price supports (meaning when there was a glut of dairy products the feds bought it and stored it). At least someone had sense enough to distribute it to the needy. One of my aunt's got cheese and other commodities through fed and state programs.
Never truer. Yep, struggling to put food on table and my friends sister was on SNAP eating steak and…
Talked to a state nutrition nurse and asked about commodities. She said they don’t do it because people didn’t know how to cook and make meals with the products. They would find it being discarded.

I'll take Lobster for Troops over $$ Pay increases for Politicians voted on by Politicians. Jail that Spambooger witch in Va already.
Yes. I would do the same.
