I’m on the fence (as far as allowing it to be purchased with SNAP). I used to think Diet Soda was bad too, but then I looked into it and it’s really not, although I wouldn’t go as far as saying it’s “good.” Unlike most here I am open to changing my opinion based on the available evidence. Just because a lot of fat people drink diet soda doesn’t mean it’s the diet soda that made them fat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KSB2424 3,148 Posted April 4 I know very little about SNAP or food stamps. However I believe it to be a government paid safety net to help the less fortunate get basic food to feed themselves and/or their family. I am assuming you cannot purchase alcohol and cigarettes with the cards. If so I see no reason to add Sodas and Candy to the list. None of those have nutritional value. What am I missing?

This is not high on my give a shiot list. But SNAP is a government funded safety net program to help the poor feed themselves, right? Is that not the safety net purpose? Beer, Cigs, Mountain Dew, and Skittles don't fit into the root purpose of the program to me. Also they are crazy bad for your health which then the poor who are more than likely on Medicaid continue with poor choices. I am 100% for freedom of choice, but when you accept government monies you waive that right to just do what you want with those monies. No? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cigarettes and Alcohol I consider a different category than pop and candy. I say allow it, so they can get a package of M&Ms and Coke Zero (or whatever) if they want to and it makes them just a little bit happier. Although, not ideal, a full size Snickers bar (or Twix or whatever) could be just what they need to get through a rough day. I don't know, maybe I'm wrong, but that's my current opinion.
