West Virginia bans buying soft drinks with food stamps

Patriot Spotlight - Robert F. Kennedy Jr., as Health and Human Services Secretary, has approved West Virginia’s decision to prohibit buying soft drinks with food stamps. This is a cornerstone effort in the Trump administration’s nutritional reform, urging states to adopt healthier policies for SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) beneficiaries. By granting the state a special waiver, Kennedy aims to encourage similar policies nationwide, shifting SNAP’s focus from broadened consumer choice toward public health enhancement.
