It’s heartbreaking, but not surprising. When you’re dealing with limited resources, constant stress, and often living in areas where healthy options are harder to access or more expensive, sugary drinks can feel like an affordable comfort. Instead of judging SNAP recipients, we should be looking at the systems that make soda more accessible than clean, appealing
, and fresh food.

- almostgotcaught 2y ago> I judge them the same way I judge anyone that drinks that crap: harshly. Don't tell others they shouldn't judge people for their misdeeds. Good job ignoring absolutely everything in the comment except the part that offended you. Nothing more American than having a hard-on for being judgemental and then defending the right instead of actually trying to solve the underlying problem.

- XorNot 2y agoAnother take would also just be that it hardly proves they don't drink water, just that they also like something else. But the "soda" category these days is also pretty overloaded: full sugar coke vs Coke zero is a very different calory intake.
- apothegm 2y agoCoke zero is still murder on your teeth, though. (And not fluoridated, of course.)
