The govt collects all your data all day long from every phone, camera or store you purchase at, builds a profile in you to use against you and they thought they could rally people around soda when they don’t care about the govt spying on them all day.
The worst thing that ever happened was when we started giving food stamps (now on a credit card, God forbid someone is embarrassed) and stopped giving commodities to welfare recipients. You don’t have enough money for food? I’ll help you, but since it’s a gift, how about you take these essentials rather than getting everything under the sun that working people can’t afford.
Every time I go to the stores and see all of the sodas, junk food and even candy that are EBT eligible products I get furious knowing that my tax dollars are being wasted on trash. The only EBT eligible products should only be healthy foods, drinks, vegetables, fruits and pantry staples. I also think that a lot of the premade frozen meals and snacks should be limited for EBT. A lot of the people who are receiving EBT and other taxpayer funded government assistance programs are scammers who are abusing the systems and freeloading off of the taxpayers. There are EBT and other government assistance programs recipients all over social media bragging about how they have been on government assistance programs all of their lives and they have never or will never get a job. Government assistance programs should not be allowed to be a lifetime career. There should be time limits at the least. As far as the influencers or anyone else referring to President Trump drinking Diet Coke he has his own money to make his own choices and isn’t using or abusing EBT to pay for it. People on government assistance programs shouldn’t be incentivized or rewarded. They should get their basic needs and that is all.
The argument that not allowing SNAP cards to be used in the purchase of soda is not in the same category as the NY bill on limiting the amount of soda sold at one time. Soda is a minimally nutritious consumable. It will raise your blood sugar and that is about it. Since the SNAP program is all about nutrition, it is stupid to use these funds to buy something that is lacking in any nutrition at all. I was a Certified Diabetes Educator and in that capacity counseled some overweight teens with type 2 diabetes who admittedly consumed over a liter of real Coca Cola every day. To get control of their blood sugar, I just asked them to quit that habit. That was all it took. They had no clue what they were doing to their bodies. I wish there was a way to get this message home.
lol at soda being the line in the sand.

Same as a lot of the Huffines endorsements.
And most people continue to glaze over the paid AG post facts.... breathe. 🤷♀️
Next should be booze, right? Pretty soon, EBT will be allowed in the sex shops!

Don't give them any ideas! 😜
