I disagree with this ban because it stating that poor people who are using the food stamp system does not know how to eat properly nor knows how to shop for healthy food. Food nowadays are very expensive and in order to buy the fruits and vegetables you have to shop around for bargain or look up in the circular papers that is distribute around the neighborhood to see if it affordable. Especially if you have children no way you can deny them of their sweet tooth or their taste for sweet drinks. The only way is to control how much they can drink and eat in a day. Same goes with the adults who also need to learn how to do the same.
However if this does goes into effect ( the law of banning soda and sugary drinks with food stamp) people will continue buying and drinking soda regardless. We should focus on people around us and not only zeroing on the lower-income and make an example out of them. Obesity and diabetes come in difference size and age range-- it has no boundaries of races and for rich or for poor. It attacks those who don't take proper care of themselves or eat a healthy meal and snack.
