How new SNAP restrictions are affecting Texas residents

Season 2026 Episode 90 | 7m 37s

This year, 22 states are changing what people who rely on SNAP for food assistance can buy with their benefits. The new rules are meant to cut out sugary foods and drinks, a central focus of the “Make America Healthy Again” movement. But advocates fear they could cut down on what food is available for those in need. Stephanie Sy reports from Texas, which just introduced its ban.
