flag Four states seek to ban buying soda and candy with food stamps to promote healthier eating.

flag Four U.S. states are planning to prohibit the purchase of soda and candy with food stamps, aiming to promote healthier eating among low-income families. flag The governors of Arkansas, Idaho, Indiana, and West Virginia have requested permission from the USDA to restrict Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) recipients from buying these items. flag This initiative, part of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy's "Make America Healthy Again" agenda, seeks to combat obesity and diet-related illnesses. flag Critics argue defining exclusions could be challenging due to ingredients in candy, but experts believe it could effectively shift SNAP recipients away from unhealthy food choices.
