State SNAPs

More states are getting rid of SNAP soda:

USDA Secretary Brooke Rollins said at an event in Washington that she signed waivers from the two states, several days after the USDA allowed Nebraska to become the first state to ban soda from the program formally known as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). Another half a dozen more waiver requests are “coming down the line,” Rollins said. The Department of Agriculture has said other states that requested waivers include Arkansas, Colorado, Kansas, Idaho, Utah, and West Virginia. “We are on track to sign multiples of SNAP waivers to get junk food and sugary drinks out of our food stamp system, and I am so proud,” Rollins said.
