Soda is now excluded from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program in six more states: Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Colorado, Florida, and West Virginia. Four of those states, Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, and Florida, have banned candy as well.

“It is incredible to see so many states take action at this critical moment in our nation’s history and do something to begin to address chronic health problems. President Trump has changed the status quo, and the entire cabinet is taking action to Make America Healthy Again. At USDA, we play a key role in supporting Americans who fall on hard times, and that commitment does not change.
