SNAP Soda Ban Costs North Dakota

2 weeks ago 0

North Dakota was preparing to implement a ban on purchasing candy, soda, and other sugary drinks using federal food assistance. This change aimed to promote healthier choices among recipients.

The federal government had been advocating for states to embrace similar policies. However, just days before the scheduled start in North Dakota, it unexpectedly requested the state to delay the implementation until November 1. This postponement might provide North Dakota an opportunity to evaluate if the policy is justifiable, given the substantial cost associated with its execution.
