As if we didn’t already have enough to worry about, what with the never-ending wars, economic inequality, prejudice, and the latest Drake album being very underwhelming to be perfectly honest, now I find out we have too much cheese.
According to a report in the Wall Street Journal, the United States has an overwhelming surplus of cheese, enough to equal three extra pounds of the stuff for every person in the country. If that’s really the case, then I eagerly await my share of this glorious bounty. Just ship it over in some dry ice, Obama. This hot tub I just installed in my back yard will make an excellent fondue pot.
The unfortunate dark side of this situation is that the overproduction of cheese by dairy farmers has tanked the price of their number one product, costing the industry millions of dollars in lost revenue. Michigan dairy farmer Carla Wardin told the Journal that her colleagues plan to deal with the situation by “do[ing] the same thing … you milk more cows”.
If dairy farmers refuse to stop making cheese, I suppose the only solution to this problem is to quickly, efficiently dispose of the cheese surplus. How are we going to do that? Glad you asked, because I have a few brilliant solutions. In fact, these are so clever that you might as well start calling me the Elon Musk of dairy products:

Re: Cheesed off
I remember having gobs of surplus commodity cheese served as part of school lunches when I was in school. Do they still do that?
How about food given to the poor by food banks. Do they get surplus cheese?

Re: Cheesed off
I remember back in oh early 1980s that a family two doors away from us with whom we were on very close terms, gave us a simply huge block of cheddar cheese that they'd got from the government but didn't need. It was weird to accept the gift but one doesn't want to offend

Those were the days, my friend.

Re: Cheesed off
I guess I can cross off "fear of an impending global cheese crisis" from my list of anxieties about the future.
