New USDA study: Soda is the most common item bought with food stamps

[dcbl]

SNAP consumers buy more soda, less nutritious food than non snap household

This is the first study of its kind. The folks who did the study suggest legally limiting the program, a fantastic idea!

Oh who am I kidding, this is impossible. My friends on the left and in the media have said folks on foodstamps have to pick between starving and health coverage - so this cannot be true...

I understand coke and Pepsi but I don't get all the other ones.

Yes but they are still using tax payer money to buy sodas. It should be limited to nutritious food only. We are paying for them to get fat, then we pay for their diabetes.

We agree on that one. Like I've said before, I saw a woman but 4 20oz mountain dew on their EBT card. I couldn't believe it. Heck even the ice cream truck that comes around accepts ebt.
