United States 06/19/2013 04:47 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | ebt (food stamps) no longer paying for soda pop? I'm watching America this morning news and they said 15 cities are considering a ban on soda sales with ebt.
Anybody know what cities and how far this has made it?
Sounds like a good plan, they should make you take a class on what foods are good and bad to get your food stamps.
I know when you are on food stamps, its not like you can eat organic. But soda pop seems like a luxury item, And not a necessity. |

Including lobster, ready to feed baby formula and many other things that most of us consider to be a luxury item. |

Quoting: UTownTrash Think this will turn into a national rule? My guess is most people on ebt will sell enough food stamps to buy some pop |

Quoting: andawg221 True, except they have WIC, Women, infants and children program that provides baby formula, milk, cereal, cheese and I forget what else.
