What slippery slope? I don't see it. The government is handing this money out with little or no strings attached--they could add a lot more than they do, and honestly, I think they probably should.
I think SNAP benefits need to be accompanied by education in healthy food options and where to find them in the local area, and the government should have the right to tell people who receive SNAP benefits what they can buy with said benefits. I really don't think soda should be an allowable purchase with SNAP benefits.
