Remember kids, if you do drugs then you'll end up like Matt Foley: eating a steady diet of government cheese while you're livin' in a van down by the river.

I worked at a Boy Scout summer camp, Camp Thunderbird, summers of 1977 - 1979. The camp got government cheese, and peanuts, and chipped beef.

The cheese was actually pretty good, the peanuts were of uniform, decent quality, and the chipped beef could be made into tuna salad, as long as you didn't tell the people you were cooking for that it wasn't really tuna. They actually complimented me for getting rid of the fishy flavor.

I ate that growing up (and other government food like beans). Good stuff.

Thank you for reminding me of this.
