## Caption

Alabama lawmakers are considering stricter limits on which food items can be purchased with an EBT card. Legislation from Sen. Arthur Orr would stop residents from buying candy and soda with SNAP benefits.

Orr’s bill makes sense from a health standpoint, but industry experts warn that there’s no complete list of banned items, which can make purchases confusing in the checkout line.

Q: Do you support Alabama’s proposed ban on buying candy and soda with SNAP benefits?
• 67% Yes, SNAP should focus on nutritious foods
• 27% No, people should decide what to buy for themselves
• 4% I’m not sure
• 2% I support limiting soda but not candy

The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Plan (SNAP) supports about 750,000 people in Alabama, who get an average of $200 per month.
