Louisiana SNAP changes: No more soda or candy

Starting in 2026, Louisiana families using SNAP will have to rethink their grocery lists—soda, candy bars, and energy drinks are out, but chocolate chips and full-sugar Gatorade are still okay. The state says it’s all about improving health and cutting Medicaid costs, but some worry it’ll make shopping more confusing and limit choices for families. On the flip side, rotisserie chicken is finally allowed, making quick dinners a bit easier. What do you think—will these changes really help, or just make life tougher for folks already stretching every dollar? #Food #LouisianaSNAP #HealthyChoices
