From the post:

>Soda and energy drinks will soon be off-limits to certain Americans as officials clamp down on what people can buy with food stamps.
Around 150,000 low-income Nebraska residents will be barred from buying the goods under the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). The first-of-its-kind ban will become effective starting January 1, 2026 and last for at least two years. At least five other Republican states are in talks to roll out similar measures. Additional details about the Nebraska ban have yet to be revealed by state officials, but Nebraska Governor Jim Pillen said in a statement: 'There's absolutely zero reason for taxpayers to be subsidizing purchases of soda and energy drinks.

Completely agree, but this headline is massive misleading clickbait. Nothing is gonna be banned from "certain Americans". The payment method is banned. They can still have all the shit garbage they want. Just not on the taxpayers dime.
