ソダ? そうだ。

RFK is correct; the purpose of EBT was never to promote unhealthy food, and all common sodas are unhealthy food. The real problem, however, is twofold. First, this is like lancing one zit on a face full of acne; it fixes the zit, and leaves the rest of the face infected. Second, people will always figure out workarounds, and they do already: e.g., sell the ebt at a discount, then take the money and buy what they really want, whether Twinkies, rotgut, or fentanyl laced crack.
In the ‘50s and ‘60s, some families in our church (rural NYS) were on a government program where they got “free government cheese”, peanut butter, powdered eggs / milk, butter, dried beans. I think the program was “Commodities” or similar. (The peanut butter and cheese were GREAT!)
Those kinds are the only things that should be allowed for purchase with our tax money. The Cowbird Class needs to stop being parasites.
