   @sickburnbro @MeBigbrain @nobullyplz @sapphire @Heil_Honkler Usual bullshit from the Left.

   The USDA as part of the program that included food stamps also handed out "commodity foods" like beans and cheese, the latter was part of a diary farmer price program started by FDR in the early 1930s.

   In the early 1970s I ate some both that a fried of the family shared with us, it was perfectly fine. Dried beans are dried beans, the cheese was not American process, that would be a lot more expensive since it starts with real cheese then adds stuff to make it good for cooking, plus a spice for color and its characteristic flavor. Very solid/hard cheddar like. but less flavor.

   BTW, FDR deliberately starved the people, per his USDA a quarter of the population, was confirmed by the WWII draft, and I could hear the psychological scars it left in my early Silent Generation parents. After WWII rationing/FDR's death our ruling trash got serious about trying to make sure everyone was well enough fed. Although again, Michelle Obama used the school lunch to again starve children.

   And there was a hell of a lot of extra crazy economic stuff in the 1970s that Reagan inherited, I could well see Jimmy Carter doing what was claimed and there being a huge pile of the stuff they just started handing out. Albeit the reluctance would be from the danger of trash everyone who supplied the regular cheese we bought.

   That's part of how the West keeps a lot of the Third World starving, dumping "free" food on them after convincing their own governments to be the only buyer of their own, a World Bank program initiated by the same guy who helped ruin our effort to fight the Vietnam War, Robert McNamara.
