四个美国州正计划禁止购买苏打和糖果及食品券, Four U.S. states are planning to prohibit the purchase of soda and candy with food stamps, aiming to promote healthier eating among low-income families. 阿肯色州、伊达霍州、印第安纳州和西弗吉尼亚州的州长已请求美国农业部批准限制补充营养援助方案的受益者购买这些物品。 The governors of Arkansas, Idaho, Indiana, and West Virginia have requested permission from the USDA to restrict Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) recipients from buying these items. 这是健康与人类服务秘书Robert F.
