The American Modcast
The American Modcast with Joe Kefauver is brought to you by Americans for a Modern Economy, an organization committed to ensuring that local, state and federal policies reflect changing technologies that are reshaping the way consumers, businesses and communities operate in the 21st century economy. This podcast doesn't just discuss the issues of the day but try to focus on the emerging issues of tomorrow. Those issues around the changing nature of the workforce, the impact of technology on the economy, and trendlines in commerce that will not only force changes to consumer behavior but ultimately voter attitudes. It should be a fun ride with meaty topics, good guests, and maybe a sprinkling of cynical humor along the way.

In this episode we talk to Margaret Hardin Mannion, the Director of Government Relations for the National Association of Convenience Stores who is that industry’s expert on food policy, food traceability, and the topic we are going to talk about today - SNAP Benefits and the growing phenomenon of states asking for and receiving waivers from the U.S. Department of Agriculture to go even further than the federal government and restrict additional foods from the program.
