A State Board has put the break on Governor Jared Polis' plan to prevent soda purchases with SNAP Benefits.  Jeff, Bill, and callers debate the restriction.  Since taxpayers are covering the bill, how much say do we have in what is purchased?  What is the point of SNAP benefits?  Did you know seltzer is classified as a soda?  How does that work with the attempted restrictions?
