She is a mom! Someone has to feed her. Sometimes, it's someone's kids.

"Representative Nancy Mace (R-South Carolina) posted on X that it wasn’t the government’s responsibility to 'pay for someone else’s soda.'

'You want a soda? Get a job and go buy it yourself,' Mace wrote.

Though Mace alludes to SNAP recipients choosing 'unhealthy' foods, restricting options for beneficiaries does nothing to address affordability or accessibility, says Salaam Bhatti, SNAP director at FRAC. 'If your goal is for people to eat healthier, you have to understand that the healthier food is the most expensive food in a grocery store,' he said. 'If you really want people to buy better food, then increase the SNAP benefit, because right now, it’s only an average of $6 per person per day.'”
