Nebraska becomes first state to ban SNAP benefits for buying soda and energy drinks, aiming to promote healthier eating.
Nebraska has become the first state to receive a federal waiver to ban the purchase of soda and energy drinks using SNAP benefits.
This decision, aimed at promoting healthier eating habits, affects around 152,000 SNAP participants in the state.
Governor Jim Pillen supports the move, stating that taxpayers should not subsidize unhealthy drinks.
However, critics argue that the ban adds costs and administrative burdens and may increase stigma for those facing food insecurity.
SNAP is a $100 billion program serving about 42 million Americans.
