Soda is a cheap calorie source. Fruits and vegetables are very expensive in terms of calories per dollar. https://twitter.com/seanmdav/status/809844271922774016 …

1) Check out the freezer aisle. Frozen veggies are pretty cheap and nutritionally equivalent. 2) How's a person bright as you poor?

Dude, I calculate calories/$ ratios every time I go to the store. There's just not that much nutrition there.

I ought not have presumed to advise. Of course you're right. Other than potatoes/peas/beans there's not a lot of calories there.

But come on, that's not why SNAP families buy so much soda. If economizing they'd purchase a lot of oil/flour/potatoes/beans.

If you look at the chart, they buy a *little* more than non-SNAP households. Not a ton.

Another thing: soda doesn't require refrigeration or cooking, and it keeps forever. Get your power turned off a few times..

(although the difference in frozen prepared food undercuts my point somewhat)
