Txylo.com/10309743

~ In a recent letter addressed to Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins, Governor Greg Abbott has requested a waiver from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Food and Nutrition Service. The waiver would prohibit the use of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits to purchase unhealthy foods.

Governor Abbott highlights the original purpose of SNAP, which was to increase access to nutritious food. However, he notes that many SNAP purchases are for food with little to no nutritional value. With the Trump administration's support, states now have the opportunity to eliminate the option of using SNAP benefits for junk food and ensure that taxpayer dollars are solely used for purchasing healthy and nutritious food.
