I vote slippery slope. What next? A ban on all products containing HFCS? Processed corn products at all? Or better: Food stamps can only be used to buy fresh produce, dried legumes, and whole grains. Everything else is a "luxury."
EDIT: I don't think that soda consumption is causing the obesity problem. It is a big factor, yes, but if you remove this from the picture, it can easily be filled with other crap. Are they still allowed to buy sugar?
