If we could snap our fingers and make healthy food cheaper, this plan might be fine. But if you donāt do that, this idea just ends up making calories more expensive for poor people. Perhaps it could work okay if people also got more moneyās-worth of food stamps, but even then there are food deserts where people just donāt have groceries within a reasonable distance.
I donāt see a future where politicians are willing to spend more money helping people, so if thatās the case then letting people continue to use SNAP on junk food is necessary.
