Funny you mentioned the ban soda from food stamps. One Midwest state did. And for most poor people their is nothing going to reteach them. Maybe a dietary course online for food stamp recipes to take to qualify for payment would be more beneficial every recertification period. But for the love of God let people have soda at least one case. It's the one thing that gave me joy in my poorer years, kept me pepped through the work day. Now everyone lives on energy drinks even kids, so I don't know what's worse. I think energy drinks far exceed the soda problem both are addicted but in moderation it's a treat.
