It seems reasonable to me to disallow the purchase of pop, aka "soda", with EBT (food stamp) cards.

The point of those EBT cards is to get poor people some nutrition. Drinking sugar syrup is the opposite of getting nutrition.

I have a Chinese friend who bought stock in both Coca-Cola and dialysis centers. His reasoning is that he wins on both ends: Coca-Cola causes obesity and kidney disease, and then those poisoned people need dialysis later. Evil reasoning, but not incorrect.

There are many billions of dollars at stake here, all derived from poisoning the public via sugar-water purchased with public money.

So the companies making the poison have started paying off "influencers" on X etc to claim that it's a violation of "freedom" somehow to restrict EBT cards so that they can't buy that poison. It's kind of sad to see them sell out.

Unspoken is the fact that EBT already limits what food you can buy with public money. I think it has to at least have a nutrition label on it to be eligible.

I'd never tell people what they can't buy with their own money, but preventing people from using public money to give themselves diabetes seems fine to me.

CNN host Ashley Allison says SNAP is having a "massive impact" after she went to her eyebrow technician who told her they had to fire people because clients don't have money to do their brows.

She said

"This is having a massive impact. I went and got my eyebrows done the other day, and my eyebrow technician said they're going to fire two technicians because all of their clients don't have money to come."

She said the quiet part out loud, so I had to fact-check this. According to CNN transcripts, she did, in fact, say this.

People are selling their EBT cards ...and also .. taxpayers are buying their groceries for them so they have money to spend on eyelashes, hair and nails....and also vacations.
This is why it is imperative that we remove people from SNAP, make new rules, and then start all over again. Background check, periodic drug tests, and actively searching for jobs.
