How in the world is that even possible?
Why is it even possible? This is a bi partisan issue. 20 dems wanted abolished (great for them wanting it to happen) but 55 repubs said keep absorbing sugar and die of obesity.
How much did Coca Cola and others bought these politicians? We constantly complain (rightfully so) of the health care cost. What we are doing with this is GROOMING, yes GROOMING future diabetes thus exploding health care cost.
This is not a political post but how often are our representatives being bought out? You look at the list of who voted for keeping the status quo and you can only scratch your head and ask WHY?
Our healthcare costs aren’t driven by allowing recipients of food stamps access to soda. No one is buying this dumb concern troll. There are actual real issues in the world and in our country. Banning soda ain’t one of them.
There’s a documentary about appalachia and they cover the consumption of mountain dew and other sodas. It’s pretty wild how much of that stuff those people drink. They put it in baby bottles for some reason.

Thank you for responding. It should never be a left vs right issue but a common sense and more importantly a health issue. It makes no sense that this is going on.
We are fabricating future diabetes patients and who knows what else.
No one can come up with a sane response on why we should let food stamps recipients buying sodas.
A savings of $9 billion in SNAP spending and lower rates of obesity and Type 2 diabetes among recipients. Maybe somebody should tell those idiot researchers over at Stanford that nobody cares. Such dumb concerns…

It is mind boggling. The only reason is that indeed these soda companies contributed to these wh.res to get reelected…and our insurance keeps going up.
Forgive me for not believing that you’re super concerned about improving the health of vulnerable Americans when you’re also wanting to throw those same people, by the millions, off of SNAP assistance.
Point to the personal attack. You gotta learn to lie better.

Jason, do you actually think that I believe you writing this? Soda consumption has created a diabetes, obesity and heart problem for generations. There is no way that anyone should pay for SNAP recipients to buy soda.
I’m not pivoting from anything. I stand by my stance that SNAP funds aren’t driving up our healthcare costs because of soda. I’m not going to suddenly believe that people who want to throw millions of Americans off of food stamps are suddenly concerned about the health and wellbeing of those Americans. A serious effort of public health to counter the sugar/diabetes epidemics doesn’t start with SNAP.
Snap should be for milk, meat, veggies and bread not sweets

You are so biased. Facts that you can’t change:
In fiscal year 2024, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), formerly known as food stamps, served an average of 41.7 million people per month in the U.S., representing approximately 12.3% of the population. As of early 2026, data showed a decrease to around 38.5 million participants, with roughly 1 in 8 Americans receiving benefits.

38.5 million people. We are not arguing about a few hundred people. This is a major problem.
