SNAP benefits face ban on certain foods under new bill

Texas state Senator Mayes Middleton said his bill was about "making sure taxpayer funded food stamps are used to buy nutritious food."
A new bill proposed by Texas state Representative Jared Patterson aims to restrict the types of food that can be purchased with Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits, specifically targeting items like candy, certain baked goods, and soda. The bill, which has sparked controversy, seeks to promote healthier eating among SNAP recipients by limiting their food choices, a move criticized by some as paternalistic and potentially stigmatizing. Critics, including anti-hunger advocates and Democratic lawmakers, argue that such restrictions could complicate the shopping process for SNAP users and do not address the root causes of poor nutrition. The legislation has been compared to similar efforts in other states, like Iowa, where a similar bill was introduced but did not pass. The debate over the bill reflects broader discussions about the role of government in dictating dietary choices for low-income families.
