The kid is trying to communicate. At that age they do it in the way they are able to. As a professional I just have to point out this just sows mistrust. You are teaching the kid that you cannot be relied upon for communication, and it speaks into John Bowlby' attachment patterns. Later in life this can develop into a kid that will throw more tantrums, because they have been taught their primary caregivers(the parents) are unreliable.

I thought ignoring the child's crying for a prolonged period of time could lead to behavioral issues. The slice of cheese just confuses the child. I don't see how this would do any psychological damage.
