USDA Approves Nebraska's Banning Soda And Energy Drinks From Food Stamps USDA Approves Nebraska's Banning Soda And Energy Drinks From Food Stamps Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins issued a waiver on May 19 restricting the use of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) funds to buy soda or energy drinks in Nebraska, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) said in a May 19 https://www.usda.gov/about-usda/news/press-releases/2025/05/19/secretary-rollins-approves-first-ever-state-waiver-restrict-soda-and-energy-drinks-food-stamps . https://cms.zerohedge.com/s3/files/inline-images/image%20%2824%29_7.jpg?itok=Jghmc7Zl This is the first-ever state waiver banning soda and energy drinks from SNAP, popularly known as food stamps. “Prior to this waiver, SNAP recipients could buy anything except alcohol, tobacco, hot foods, and personal care products,” said the statement. The waiver, which takes effect on Jan. 1, 2026, is part of the Trump administration’s Make America Healthy Again agenda, the USDA said, adding that this “historic action seeks to reverse alarming disease trends across the country.” https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/usda-approves-nebraskas-banning-soda-and-energy-drinks-from-food-stamps-5860488?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=ZeroHedge one in three children between the ages of 12 and 19 is affected by prediabetes, it said. Forty percent of school-aged children and adolescents suffer from at least one chronic condition, while 15 percent of students in high school drink a minimum of one soda per day. President Donald Trump https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/trump-establishes-make-america-healthy-again-commission-5809872 an executive order in February establishing the President’s Commission to Make America Healthy Again. The agency is tasked with investigating the “root causes of America’s escalating health crisis,” including chronic disease among children, according to a White House fact sheet. The waiver issued to Nebraska “is the first of its kind, and it is a historic step to Make America Healthy Again,” Rollins said. “Under President Trump’s leadership, I have encouraged states to serve as the ‘laboratories of innovation.’” The American Beverage Association, a trade group representing the non-alcoholic beverage industry, has consistently https://www.americanbeverage.org/initiatives-advocacy/protecting-consumer-choice/protecting-snap-beverage-choice/ the move to remove soda and energy drinks from the SNAP program, citing a violation of people’s right to “beverage choice.” “Millions of Americans rely on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) to help feed their families. They deserve the same freedom to choose the foods and beverages that best fit their needs,” it said. “Restricting products—like soda—from SNAP won’t make anyone healthier or save a $1 in taxpayer spending. Instead, restrictions will only grow government bureaucracy and costs while creating a slippery slope to government deciding ‘good’ and ‘bad’ foods.” Obesity Driver? In February, Rollins had raised https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/usda-chief-says-americans-on-food-stamps-could-be-banned-from-buying-sugary-drinks-5812072 about the inclusion of sugary drinks in the SNAP program. “When a taxpayer is putting money into SNAP, are we OK with us using their tax dollars to feed really bad food and sugary drinks to children who perhaps need something more nutritious?” she told reporters at the White House on Feb. 14. A 2016 https://fns-prod.azureedge.us/sites/default/files/ops/SNAPFoodsTypicallyPurchased.pdf from the USDA had shown that soft drinks were the No. 1 food commodity that SNAP households spent their money on. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says the obesity rate in the United States was 40.3 percent during the 2021–2023 period. Health researchers have long blamed sugary drinks for obesity as well as health issues such as cardiovascular disease and Type 2 diabetes. The American Beverage Association rejects such claims, saying beverages cannot be blamed for driving up obesity. “While CDC data shows adult obesity is up 37.4 percent since 2000, full-calorie soda sales are down 22.9 percent and beverage calories per serving are down 42 percent,” it said. “If the two were connected, obesity rates should have decreased with the decline in soda consumption. “In fact, calories from sugar-sweetened beverages are a small part of the American diet. When consumption of all sugar-sweetened beverages are combined, they account for less than 6 percent of calories in the American diet.” Besides Nebraska, other states are also taking action against SNAP soda sales. Last month, it came to light that Arkansas, Indiana, and Iowa had https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/4-states-submit-waivers-to-usda-seeking-to-ban-soda-candy-from-snap-5847407 waiver requests to the USDA allowing them to prohibit soda, energy drinks, and candy from the program. The American Heart Association supports banning the purchase of sugary drinks in SNAP, the group said in a May 19 https://newsroom.heart.org/local-news/american-heart-association-stands-together-with-iowa-and-against-the-soda-industry-to-reduce-sugary-drink-consumption . “As an organization that has opposed Big Soda for decades, we have worked tirelessly to pass public policies that effectively reduce consumption of sugary drinks,” said Nancy Brown, CEO of the association. https://cms.zerohedge.com/users/tyler-durden Wed, 05/21/2025 - 18:50 https://www.zerohedge.com/political/usda-approves-nebraskas-banning-soda-and-energy-drinks-food-stamps

I am giving very serious consideration to bringing Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac public. I will be speaking with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick, and the Director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, William Pulte, among others, and will be making a decision in the near future. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are doing very well, throwing off a lot of CASH, and the time would seem to be right. Stay tuned!

You forgot: 1. We walked home from school without supervision 2. Were outside from 3:15 until 1hr past the end of civil twilight 3. Did our homework on the bus in the morning 4. Drank non potable water from garden hoses 5. Fished with bailer twine a hook and a cricket 6. Never got so sick we had to miss school. 7. Climbed over barbwire fence better than a modern navy seal 8. Thought it was all just normal. nostr:note1knzqhqakygsuqfpk9p6nn0xf6j32ymfzqm2c7m5j3k33q5qftzzs27ewmx
