@cwicseolfor Walmart gets their employees on SNAP, which they benefit from when their employees spend it at Walmart. In Texas, the main beneficiaries of SNAP are single moms.
Frito Lay and the other soda and snack companies are headquartered in Texas. Our Texas SNAP was subsidizing their profits. Using the poor and single moms money from the government in Texas to make their corporations richer. In 2001 a bottle of soda was 75¢, now it’s $2.25.
I don’t enjoy soda, but I drink a lot of it purely for cheap liquid calories.
