Make diet quality central focus of SNAP.

What’s Broken

SNAP was created to fight hunger but now must evolve to fight diet-related disease.

The Fix

How to Take Action

  1. Track nutrition quality of SNAP purchases
  2. Eliminate sugary drinks from approved items
  3. Scale GusNIP, Healthy Incentives Program, Double Up Food Bucks
  4. Align SNAP with Medicaid for medically tailored meals
