Biden says America doesn't have a food shortage problem, 'we have a leadership problem'
“We don’t have a food shortage problem, we have a leadership problem,” Biden said during a Yahoo News town hall on food security issues that also featured chef and food activist José Andrés.
“First of all, the president should stop trying to cut the SNAP program, which is essentially the food stamp program. In the middle of this crisis he is, in fact, cutting food stamps. He wants to cut access to food stamps, or SNAP, as it’s known as.” Andrés is a native of Spain who lives in the United States who besides running restaurants in several cities has become an activist for food stamps and nutrition. He said food was an integral part of America’s national security. “We need to begin taking food seriously,” he said. “Food needs to be treated as a national security issue. We need a national director of food and nutrition … part of the National Security Council.
