Laura, are you a soda drinker?
Of course.
Who doesn't drink soda?
Right.
That's our colleague Laura Cooper, who covers the beverage industry.
Do you have a, do you have a preference?
I have an answer, but I don't know if I should say.
It's a secret.
We'll find out someday.
Yes.
When it comes to soda,
Laura has recently been looking into a fight that's been brewing in one particular state, Arkansas.
There's an effort there now to restrict what people can buy with food stamps,
also known as snap, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.
No more junk food for Arkansans on the taxpayer's dime.
That's what Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders is proposing.
Sanders says people who receive supplemental food benefits, also known as SNAP benefits,
should not be able to use those funds to purchase snacks, candy, or desserts.
Sarah Huckabee Sanders, who's the governor there,
has been pretty clear she is interested in amending what can be paid for by SNAP in that state.
