No, that was Ronnie that first started the cheese thing. Most was
processed American in five pound bricks. My in-laws got some from the
senior center they went to. Most was blah, but one they brought home
was very good. I'd have even paid for it.

Cheese, peanut butter, powdered milk were the biggest items on the
give away.

Huh? Uncle Sam gave 5# blocks of cheese to the poor in the 1950's.
Pretty good cheese in those days. Help to sustain diets for the less
fortunate. "Ronnie" gave out "Velveeta"??? Powered milk takes some
getting used to, at first.

I've heard of young folks who can't cook.

One email I got on a list, the young family was hungry. Older, and generous
woman fixed up a pack of stuff, and brought it to the young family. A couple
days later, same call, being hungry. How can that be, there was a couple
weeks food? Turns out the young idiot used the stuff she recognized, and
threw out the rest of the perfectly good food.

Didn't ask how to use it. Didn't say "hey, I can't use this, take it back".
Just pitch perfectly good ingredients into the trash. No sense of
appreciaton, no brains.

It was a popular program with old folks down here. They also had
honey, corn meal and a few other things that the government had
warehouses full of from farm programs. People were never sure what
they were going to get to go with the cheese.
Old people who lived through the depression knew what to do with that
stuff. It was mostly wasted among the urban poor.

A church I did some work for because the people there were nice folks
and would help anyone who asked for their help had their faith in their
fellow man shaken by the result of their altruism. The problem the nice
folks had to deal with that really disturbed them was the fact that many
of the street critters were taking advantage of their compassion
by breaking into the church run soup kitchen and stealing all the food.
The dregs of society would also come to the church and ask for clothing
which they would throw away rather than wash it then return and ask for
more. If the critter you feed bites the hand that feeds it, you don't
feed it anymore. O_o

I don't know who was prez when it started but it was in the Clinton era
that I saw the cheese. Cheese was as you describe. Hunter was one of
our poorer friends struggling with his car repair business.

My church had the same problem, I think it was one of the new members. They
gave him a key to the place, so he could set up chairs before meetings.
About that time, all kinds of things started disappearing.

I've also heard of the "throw away clothing" routine.

Pretty popular in the North, too. A friend's parents showed up to get
theirs in their new Caddy. They gave the cheese to the kids. It
wasn't great, but edible.

They also had
honey, corn meal and a few other things that the government had
warehouses full of from farm programs. People were never sure what
they were going to get to go with the cheese.

Sure, price supports. "Ronnie" just cleared he warehouses.

The problem with altruistic, compassionate, good people is the simple
fact that they will always keep trying to help their fellow man no
matter what sort of scumbag that fellow man happens to be. I'm not very
tolerant of scumbags even though I believe in the practice of giving
anyone a hand up but I only offer it once. ^_^

I remember speaking to a modern young woman who was having trouble
getting a job. I asked if it could have something to do with all the
pieces of metal piercing and sticking out of her body and her eye
punishing bright purple hair? Her answer was she would remove the
junkyard from her skin and wear a hat. I told her she shouldn't give
up her identity but should look for a job that fit her not the other
way around. I suggested looking for employment with a circus, freak show
or other entertainment enterprise. It never ceases to amaze me that many
young men complain they can't find a job when they walk around with
their pants hanging down and their underwear showing. It's
never never their fault, it's always the businesses that reject them. ^_^

even lied about it. ...and people wonder why they're chronically
unemployed.
