Abstract

The article discusses the potential reimagining of the U.S. Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) as a nutrition-focused intervention. Some proposals in Congress suggest adding nutrition-based restrictions to SNAP, while others argue for cash-transfer programs. The article highlights the importance of considering global evidence and the potential impact on health outcomes. It also raises questions about the effectiveness and ethical implications of restrictions on SNAP. The article suggests that policymakers should carefully consider the evidence and global trends before making any major changes to SNAP. [Extracted from the article]
