Why shouldn't EBT money be allowed to purchase sugar free soda?

• loire280 9mo ago
  Since it has no calories, it's not "food" by even a very loose definition. As someone who lives in a neighborhood where most tapwater is still delivered by lead service lines, I'm sympathetic to the argument that it provides hydration. I'd prefer that my tax dollars went to solving that problem more directly, however.

    Are you saying you shouldn't be able to buy water with SNAP money?

      I think it could be argued either way. There's plenty of non-food necessities (toilet paper, feminine hygiene products, etc.) that aren't covered by SNAP.

  RFK and his type think sugar free soda gives you cancer, or whatever.
