    The purpose of this paper was to state the case that we ought not to restrict sugar-sweetened beverages from SNAP because it would be ineffective, stigmatizing, paternalistic, and would violate human capabilities. Moving forward, I think what ought to be done to further decrease food insecurity and increase positive health outcomes would a movement toward more cash benefits. [From Conclusion]
