Thank you to the offices of @SenBooker & @RepSherrill for discussing critical federal nutrition programs with us at yesterday's #FoodBankFlyIn. Government support for SNAP & TEFAP is an investment in our hardworking neighbors' abilities to keep food on the table. @FeedingAmerica

GCFB was on Capitol Hill this week with 200 fellow food bankers from across the country advocating for a food-secure Farm Bill! Thanks to officials and staff for meeting with us to discuss federal nutrition programs that help our neighbors facing hunger. #FoodBankFlyIn #FarmBill

SNAP is our nation's most effective response to hunger! 🍽️ SNAP participants should be able to select the foods that are best for themselves & their families. The next #FarmBill must not restrict the foods that can be purchased with SNAP benefits. #FoodBankFlyIn

Beverage taxes hurt working families, small local businesses, restaurants, and their employees the hardest. COVID-19 has cost many West Virginians their jobs. Say "NO" to increasing the WV Soft Drink Tax.

Consumers' calorie consumption is down for a third straight year largely because of transparent labeling, smaller portions, and less sugar in favorite brands. Thank you to the beverage industry for helping flatten those curves.
America's beverage companies are providing more beverage options than ever before with less sugar and in smaller portion sizes. They're also placing reminders to think "balance" on coolers across the country. Learn more at balanceus.org

Why did Philadelphia's consumers cross the road? To avoid the soda tax. npr.org/sections/thesalt/201…

Legislators look to line coffers at the expense of hard-working families. These taxes simply miss the mark.

Think soda taxes work? Consider what happened in Baltimore after the bottle tax in 2010 to "fund" school repairs.... j.mp/29ppGQV

A soda tax? Wasn't the backlash from banning ice cream at pools enough, Boulder? Here's why I am against a soda tax: gofatherhood.com/2016/08/don…
