Government Cheese: How Much Cheese is Too Much Cheese?

[@DoGoOnPod]

I've got a good feeling about this one

[@tommoiii]

Is Matt doesn’t give his 1966 St Kilda AFL Premiership reminder I’m not sure how I’ll cope.

[@XZ_Neal]

As someone who works in the dairy industry in the US I was aware of the basic dot points of this, but turns out the story behind this was far more interesting than I first believed. Great report Matt!

[@moonspinner1299]

I'm a social worker in the US and I had to study welfare history/policy for my degree, and I still have never heard of this! What a crazy thing. Great report Matt!

[@damnthebran]

I remember this stuff well. It was given to Native Americans, so my grandparents and cousins always had it. Can confirm it makes the best grilled cheese. I think about it everyday. It haunts me.

[@rallymaster001]

Very clever!

[@NathanS__]

Apparently it was delicious. My dad still talks about it being the best cheese he's had.

I love jammin’ out to the new jazzed up intro music

[@laurahussenet6404]

I'm from the UK and had no idea this was a thing?! In our house we call it 'plackey' cheese although I wasn't sure why until I started writing this sentence and just clocked it's short for 'plastic'... my mind is blown. Anyway, great episode & loving the web series!

[@kitcollar3102]

yes Matt repping the Idles merch

[@rallymaster001]

Love the table and wall cabinet decorations!

[@ReaperXC]

Great work mr Stewart.

[@benjaminthomas1321]

Admittedly the idea was a good because you were buying straight off the farmers and giving food straight to the family’s that needed it

Brazil did the same thing with Coffee.

Reagan: I'll cut food stamps. Also Reagan: Have a block a cheese. *Face palm* Honestly, why didn't they donate the cheese sooner? It seems so stupid. But at least we got this fun video, wish I'd seen it live. Also, I've never heard of government cheese before.

[@ASHERUISE]

I like that there was a commercial break right before the line "America was drowning in cheez." (Can't legally call it "cheese.")

[@patrickwebb7311]

Hey is this the last episode of the live series?

[@yeeteronipizza]

I live in the US and I'd never heard of this before!

[@hpaws24]

Hilarious! And I'd never heard of this before.

[@LeeNobody]

Missed out on the crazy fact that the US ran out of refrigeration space and had to rent out large underground caves to store the cheese.

[@caffeinebob4458]

Sorry, are we just going to brush over Wahlburgers?

[@kevinrodgers3851]

Cheesebergs!

[@DustingBread]

That's a lot of cheddar.

[@jonnoklr7293]

Make that Cheddar!!! (Cash money)

[@willwegley9344]

As of 3/8/21 there is one dislike and while I like the ratio of likes to dislike I’m very bothered by this one person

[@eddiekulp1241]

Govt cheese was free and twice as good as Velvetta , how was that possible ?

[@quasarone3083]

Is that a tattoo of a Zebra Hog on Daves arm?

[@timd3469]

It's George the Zebra Keyboard. P.S. He's black, white, and loving it.

[@ibcamwhobu]

64 slices of American cheese is too much cheese.

I don't know why people take to make jokes about a government cheese the government did buy the milk for the cheese and the butter it is 100% true it would for the needy in the homeless people to have people for low income families I was a low-income families back in the 70s and 80 that's when the inflation started hitting really bad just like right now the inflation geting real bad now and people hitting it rough the government cheese need to come back and the butter

[@sleepofgiants410]

i don't know if the report mentions it, as I'm still watching it, but I've heard govin'mint cheese referred to as "BRICK GOLD"

[@oldmanreiko947]
