I also tried Kraft foods in Winchester, Virginia, and they do indeed go through a large quantity. But they give priority to employees, who have figured out they can sell them on ebay and elsewhere. :-)
My brother worked in industrial gases, as in liquid nitrogen to freeze McNuggets and the like. He told me about food processors in general, how they use 50/55 gallon drums day in and day out. After a little time with Google, I found Kraft (above), so you could try the same approach where you live and find free barrels/drums.
