What if some particular food product had an unusual production surplus in the USA...

...and the government responded the same way the Reagan administration did with "government cheese" back then?

What do you think the reactions would be?

I like pie :)

Marketers at an organization called Dairy Management Inc. (DMI), which is run and partially funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), have been working in overdrive to promote higher cheese consumption in the U.S. But while they do this, the USDA itself and other government officials are simultaneously urging people to be cautious of fatty products like cheese because they say these foods promote obesity.

With a $140 million annual budget, DMI's sole purpose is to devise ways to get people to eat more dairy products. Last year, the organization worked with flailing Domino's Pizza to improve the company's image and pizza quality. DMI helped Domino's create a new pizza concept that includes 40 percent more cheese, and spent $12 million in the process to help market it. The result? Massive new sales for Domino's and a significant increase in cheese consumption. Mission accomplished.
