Republican bills put taxpayer-funded junk food on the chopping block
Fox News
GOP lawmakers push proposals to ban the purchase of junk foods, such as sodas, with SNAP benefits. Several bills have already been put forward this year.
Rep. Keith Self, R-Texas, introduced the Funding Is Zero for Zero Nutrition Options (FIZZ-NO) Act of 2025, which would block purchases of sodas with SNAP benefits — the text defines soda as "a carbonated beverage that contains more than 1 gram of added sugar, artificial sweetener, or flavoring per serving." Alex Nitzberg is a writer for Fox News Digital.
Three House Republicans have been listed as cosponsors on congress.gov.
"Allowing taxpayer dollars to subsidize sugary sodas, which offer zero nutritional value and contribute to costly health conditions, is counterproductive. The FIZZ-NO Act is a common-sense solution to strengthen public health and reduce the financial burden on taxpayers," Self said in a statement included in a press release.
