MAHA Win in Arkansas: ‘Food, Not Junk’ for Food Stamps

Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders is celebrating a state ban on food stamps being used on candy and soda as part of the Make America Healthy Again effort, despite lawsuits against similar waivers. 

“Arkansas is getting soft drinks and candy OFF food stamps starting July 1 – because taxpayer dollars shouldn’t be wasted on unhealthy junk,” Sanders said on X.

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. applauded Arkansas for becoming the latest state to move to keep Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program—or SNAP—benefits from being used for sugary, unhealthy items.  

“I commend the governors and state legislators driving meaningful reform through SNAP waivers to ensure American families have access to real, nutritious food,” Kennedy said on X.
