On the contrary, I think national defense is the highest priority of the federal govt, as its a specifically mentioned duty in the constitution. Keeping people fed is not mentioned anywhere. Of second importance is ensuring freedom and the rights enshrined in the constitution. This would mean the justice system, the congress, president. Pretty much everything else can go.
