Unhealthy beverage consumption highest among economically-vulnerable households that rely on multiple food assistance programs (AUDIO)
Caption
Lead investigator Katherine W. Bauer, PhD, highlights a new study among SNAP and WIC recipients. While households participating in multiple programs have increased food-specific purchasing power, those with both programs tend to consume higher amounts of sugar-sweetened beverages (even young children) than those participating in just one or no program. Insights can promote food security and improve diet quality, while maintaining personal choice for participants.
