Show Notes
Texas and Virginia initiate new restrictions on junk food purchases with SNAP benefits, joining states like Indiana, Iowa, Nebraska, Utah, West Virginia, Oklahoma, and Louisiana. More states plan to follow suit, aiming to start in 2026. The Trump administration hails this as a significant step towards better health nationwide, focusing on fighting chronic diseases, especially among children. The SNAP program, costing over $100 billion in 2024, helps more than 42 million people. As these restrictions spread, expect more focus on healthier choices with food aid, building momentum for long-term wellness gains.
