I think anyone who overindulges in soda and other junk are junkies. The people who buy them off SNAP are no better. I think it may be a lack of education or cultural or even psychological thing. If the SNAP isn't providing enough, and you have this little amount of money to spend on soda and chips which provide 10x more pleasure than spending the same money on some fruit, I would probably be a junkie too. (Personally I have lived like that before). But I doubt that giving more money would help unless we try to push people toward better options at the same time. Now I avoid soda(especially) and junk like the plague, because I've changed my mindset and outlook on things. For me, it's better to eat less overall(not enough calories) or just miss the meal until the next opportunity than eating junk food. That's because I've experienced what consuming that trash is like versus eating healthily. But other people may not have the same experience or education or culture to reach the same conclusion. I am quite fond of the Japanese portion sizes for instance. I'm also really into fasts. I think everyone should learn that you don't need to always be eating 3-4 meals every single day outside of specific situations.
