Can’t believe those are still eligible.

They should get diet drinks or bottled water?

Ideally, water is best. But I don’t blame people for not wanting to drink water all the time. I rarely do. Also, bottled water is largely just bottled local water sold at a markup. No need for thr plastic.

Yes.

Joe lowered (subsidized) the cost of insulin and made it worse. If the expense of diabetes is reduced, people are incentivized to buy MORE soft drinks. SNAP is corporate welfare for Coca-Cola and big junk food. We're paying them to wreck our health.
