An article appeared in Natural News on 26 August with the headline:
“Why did Obama nationalize the U.S. food supply with executive order 13603?”

Author J.D. Heyes starts the article by claiming that:
Interestingly the link provided by Heyes, which is a 2009 update of the original law, actually debunks his statement from the start:
In other words, the actual language does not address the authority to do anything. It is describing a need.
Later on, Heyes refines his claim by stating that the Executive Order and the Defense Production Act allows the federal government to take food from Americans.
Heyes also mentions that “food resources” are featured in EO 13603. Toward the end of the article he segues to a blog post by “radio personality” Dave Hodges, who:

It was probably more useful for Heyes to use another conspiracy website as a source because the actual documents don’t come close to his conclusions.
The material he uses in Natural News offers the first tip off. Look at the actual phrasing and you see “identify requirements” and “assess on an ongoing basis.” These reflect typical intradepartmental planning objectives and are hardly draconian measures by any account.
A detailed examination of EO 13603 reveals plans for payment to acquire material. For example:

So what we are talking about is not a great conspiracy to confiscate food or, according to Dave Hodges, force millions of Americans into FEMA camps.
Instead, we are basically looking at an old Cold War policy updated by the current administration.
