From the article: "No, low-income people aren't quaffing huge amounts of soda on the taxpayer dime."
Some folks certainly are.
One of my friends is on SSI disability.
He receives about ~$140 in SNAP — $194 being the most a single person can receive.
He spends $50 to $60 per month on Coke and Dr. Pepper, as well as several dollars on junk food.
He's CONSTANTLY complaining about weight gain and limited funds for good food — and he does know how to cook!
