I have never heard this saying before but now I am interested in knowing what it could possibly mean ...I will be watching.

Years ago, the US and Canadian governments paid farmers and dairies to produce more cheese and butter than could be consumed, tons more. This overstock was stored "for emergency use" in huge warehouses where, sadly while children in the horn of Africa and India and Bangaladesh starved, it was let sit and rot. That is what its all about.

It refers to those large blocks of government surplus cheese from the department of agriculture. They are distributed through food assistance programs, food pantries, etc. It makes an AWSOME homemade, baked macaroni and cheese.
