💨 Abstract

Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt announced plans to seek federal approval to exclude soft drinks and candy from SNAP benefits as part of the “Make America Healthy Again” initiative. He also signed an executive order questioning public water fluoridation and the use of artificial food coloring in state-provided meals. Stitt's actions aim to promote healthier choices among low-income Americans and reduce the use of certain additives in state-managed facilities.
