It sickens me when I go to the grocery store and I see that SODA is available for purchase with the EBT card. Since when is soda part of a nutrition program. The only things that EBT should cover is staples. Milks, breads, healthy cereals, cheeses, yogurts, fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts and nut butters, and jam. Maybe some snacks, but only nutritious stuff. There is so much junk that is allowed for purchase under the EBT program, and it needs to stop.

It mostly should cover the outside perimeter of the store with maybe baking isle. Meat should be included as well.
