I was recently at a local grocery store standing in line to be checked out. The woman in front of me had six 12-packs of soda among other items. After she was rung up, she paid with an EBT card (Food Stamps).

People should not be allowed to buy soda on the taxpayers’ dime. It has no nutritional value and is a major cause of obesity.
