科罗拉多州已成为第一个获得联邦批准豁免的蓝色州。 Colorado has become the first blue state to receive federal approval for a waiver that restricts the purchase of soda and sugary drinks using SNAP benefits. 农业部长Brook Rollins签署了这项豁免,目的是改善健康,减少国家儿童保护方案参与者的肥胖、糖尿病和牙齿腐烂。 Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins signed the waiver, which aims to improve health and reduce obesity, diabetes, and tooth decay among SNAP participants. 科罗拉多州以肥胖率最低为24.9%而闻名,仍然认为这一比率过高,对健康构成危险。 Colorado, known for having the lowest obesity rate at 24.9%, still sees this rate as too high and a health risk. 豁免与六个州根据《国家营养计划》促进更健康食品选择的努力相一致。 The waiver aligns with efforts in six states to promote healthier food choices under SNAP.
