SNAP or Food Stamps no longer allow Junk Food?

[LarryMyster]

It looks like that you can no longer buy Junk food with food stamps anymore. Things include soda, chips, candy and other items are on the chopping block soon as well. They are aiming for more home prepared meals.

Is anyone affected by this, how do you feel that a thing like soda being just an expensive treat now?

EDIT:

A 2016 USDA study using point-of-sale data found that 23 percent of purchases by SNAP households were sugary drinks, desserts, salty snacks, candy, and sugar, which is generally called junk food. With SNAP purchases of more than $100 billion a year, that would mean more than $23 billion of junk food a year.
