Abstract

The article looks at the decision of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to reject a request by the state of New York to conduct a pilot study seeking to eliminate Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits for sugar-sweetened beverages. New York contended that consumption of such beverages causes obesity and diabetes. The agency expressed concern that granting the request may stigmatize SNAP recipients. The authors note the need for objective data to inform policy change.
