Original Note:
Per the USDA, the average SNAP household spends 5 cents of every dollar on soda versus 4 cents per dollar for non-SNAP households. Last year, the SNAP program disbursed $107 billion in benefits. 5% of $107 billion = $5.4 billion, not $12 billion. https://www.brookings.edu/articles/pros-and-cons-of-restricting-snap-purchases/#:~:text=Among%20the%20spending%20observed%20in,grocery%20dollars%20on%20soft%20drinks. https://www.cbpp.org/research/food-assistance/the-supplemental-nutrition-assistance-program-snap
