BREAKING: In an amazing development, the Trump administration is more than DOUBLING the amount of healthy food options covered under SNAP benefits at stores nationwide, and closing a loophole that lets "snack foods" replace whole foods.
"For the SNAP, the families that participate in SNAP from around the country, that now if you are a retailer and you are providing the food that the taxpayer dollars are used to buy that food, we're now [more than] doubling the amount of healthy options from 12 to 28 in every retailer."
"So for example, under the old rules, they had to carry one protein. Well, that could have been a bag of beef jerky or a protein bar. But now it has to include eggs, turkey, ham, cheese, dairy, etc."
