Dats a lot of chedda...LOL

 

There you go. If the dollar collapses, we can replace it will cheese-backed currency.

 

I sense there is a fortune to be made on the crackers futures market.....

 

Not sure how I feel about being constipated too if the end of the world comes and my cheese stockpile is huge.

 

This means little to me unless we also have a large stockpile of macaroni.
Show me '10 million pound mac-n-cheese' for the win!

 

Is a YUGE cheese reserve a win for Trump?:

 

Fight steel dumping with cheese dumping!

 

Hmm, many Chinese are lactose intolerant. Perhaps the DoD is working on weaponizing cheese for a coming near-peer adversary war?

 

I hope this isn't my fault! Lot of cheese used to be eaten in this house. Now, we're a cheese free zone.

 

Could not come at a better time. Chinese cheese consumption is on the rise.

Haha, we have supply, they have demand.

Sniff Sniff.... Did someone cut the cheese? :

 

1385 Billion pounds of cheese. Say 7 billion people on Earth

1385 divided by 7 = 197.856 pounds per person. [Ignoring the fact that other countries have cheese and there are more than 7 billion folks. At a bit more than half a pound a day that could feed everyone for a year [assuming other food like elbow noodles...]

Using data from a cheese package in the fridge. Say 900 calories, 60 grams protein and 150% of the DRA of calcium. That and some fruit and veggies would be a vast improvement in the diet of many people in the world.

I will let someone else calculate how many pounds of cheese that is for just us Americans. And how long that would last us.

Perhaps this is what the gov. intends to feed folks should SHTF etc.

Could you imagine trucks hauling cheese to the cities [and everywhere else?]?

***********

When the cheese giveaway program started [early 70's ?] I can remember my grandparents saying no way were they going to take a hand out, and they didn't need to.

BUT....those were big five pound blocks of cheese, and certain ladies figured out how to use it to cook big cassoroles of stuff for church pot lucks etc.

Oh, was that good cheese!

My grandmother [the other had already passed away] made macaroni and cheese I would kill for. [And haven't tasted since they stopped that cheese handout -- how did they do it different than all the various varieties in the stores today?]? I can remember my grandmother commenting that she couldn't find cheese like the government handed out anywhere else.

That was real American cheese. You can still get it in 5 lb blocks at Sam's Club. A decent cheesemonger could probably get it for you also. It's still being made all over the country. Some artisanal cheese makers in Wisconsin make higher grade versions too, but I haven't tasted any.

 

One of my kids worked for Chi-Chi's years ago, and he would tell me about the 35 lb. blocks of cheese that he would have to cut up with a piano wire.

Why can't there be a bacon surplus instead?

 

The older cheese is worth more money if it is properly stored. The proper temperature and humidity is necessary for aging, but the older it gets, value goes up. Depending on type of cheese. A factory usually makes just one type of cheese and stays with that to avoid contamination from different starter bacteria.

 

1.385 billion, not 1385 billion pounds, so about 4 1/4 pounds per american.

A surplus here does not necessarily mean chinese sales. chicken feet are almost worthless here, don't know why it's not used to make stock, and sold well in china till chinese farmers complained about dumping and tariffs were added.

 

so let me get this straight. Someone couldn't keep track of how much cheese was needed using modern technology? AND everyone thought 1385 Billion pounds sounded about right. Okayyyy....

 

That's the new math. The right answers are based on feelings.

 

Chicken feet make really good stock. I just threw them away when I was done with the stock, though. They looked awful.

Have you tried Cabot extra sharp white cheddar cheese? So good. Sometimes I buy a 2 pound block and work on it every snacktime. So good.

 

We’re going to need more crackers.

 

The political favoritism on this issue is so thick . . . you could cut it with a piano wire.

 

No more cutting the cheese in SB.

 

I've been watching the cheese stockpile steadily climb after becoming lactose intolerant a few years ago. :

Man do I miss my cheese, getting old does have it's drawbacks.

 

The government needs to start a program to help people like you with your special need for assistance.

They could call it the Lactaid program.

 

Yea, where the hell is my special GovCo program.
Do people know how hard my life has become not being able to eat dairy any longer.
Just going out to dinner can be really difficult, a man can only eat so many chicken fingers off the kids menu you know.
Lets not even get into all the daily hardships I contend with now.

Oh wait, I'm a white male, nevermind.

 

In the pnw cabot is pretty spendy. A Tillamook loaf is $5/ 2 lbs on sale.
Śeattle grocery prices just got ranked 30% over nationwide average.

 

Here in WI, we kind of have a LOT of cheese.Most of what you people out there eat was made around here, we probably have about 1.57897254 BILLION pounds alone in cold storage.
Yep, we got cheese. :thumb:
Heh.

 

Can't believe no one has posted this....

 

I will say that government cheese was good stuff. My first wife's grandmother used to get it and she got so much, she'd share it. It was great in Mac and Cheese.
