it was produced in the US as a part of food subsidy programs, also for disaster relief etc.

the actual sliced american cheese was awesome. better than deli american or the american cheese used by fast food and other restaurants on cheeseburgers.
the loafs of “cheese food” were more like an american cheese ‘flavored’ velveeta, but not as good (taste or to cook with). but it still worked for mac & cheese, grilled cheese, cheese dips, and in hotdishes and the like.
2 hoursWe had it when I was a kid. This, and powdered milk that we mixed with real milk. I remember doing the mixing when we got home from grocery shopping.
(I know powdered milk is “real” milk. But… is it?)

That depends on your point of view.
Powdered milk is milk with the water removed. For that reason, many people would probably agree with the idea that it’s “real” milk.
On the other hand, brandy is wine that’s had the water removed, but I think you’ll have a hard time finding anyone who will agree with the idea that brandy is wine.
Disaster relief???
My mom made Mac&Cheese with that cheese and powered milk and leftover bread heels and topped it with the crumbs from the bag of potato chips.
I still can’t eat Mac and Cheese in ANY form to this very day.
It WAS the disaster!

The Fat Electrician did a great video on this a few years ago, if you want a listen.

I thought so too until I heard him unironically complain about something he thought was “woke”. I lost all respect as soon as I realized his beliefs are aligned with the traitors’.
A lot of Government Cheese is stored in caves.
So it’s technically fromunda cheese.

I highly recommend the Apple TV series: Government Cheese.
Quirky, interesting, fun.
