一名联邦法官周一叫停了特朗普政府允许五个州禁止用食品券购买含糖饮料和糖果的政策。
这一决定对美国卫生与公众服务部部长小罗伯特·F·肯尼迪的“让美国再次健康”运动来说是重大挫折。该运动旨在减少超加工食品的消费，以降低肥胖和糖尿病等慢性病的患病率。
肯尼迪曾与农业部长布鲁克·罗林斯密切合作，罗林斯已批准了近二十个州的豁免申请，允许它们限制补充营养援助计划（即食品券的正式名称）中的食品购买行为。并非所有禁令都已生效。
美国哥伦比亚特区联邦地区法官艾米·伯曼·杰克逊裁定，美国农业部无权批准科罗拉多州、艾奥瓦州、内布拉斯加州、田纳西州和西弗吉尼亚州的试点项目豁免申请。
在这些豁免申请中，各州试图修改联邦食品定义，对特定产品加以限制。各州的禁令略有不同，但均限制购买苏打水和能量饮料等含糖饮料，部分州还限制了糖果的购买。这些限制适用于所有食品券领取者，不允许有例外情况。
提起这起诉讼的五名食品券领取者辩称，他们需要购买这些受限食品来维持自身健康——称部分饮料是解决1型糖尿病、肾脏问题和缓解疲劳的必需品。
杰克逊指出，她的裁决并非意在评判这些禁令是否是个好主意。
“联邦被告和各州或许确实希望通过鼓励商店内的健康选择，来改善食品券领取家庭的健康状况，他们可以采取合法手段实现这些目标，”杰克逊写道，“但他们不能做的是违反法律以及他们自己制定的相关规定。”
这名法官指出，美国农业部所依据的职权仅允许该机构开展试点项目，以测试食品券计划的效率，并不包括改善领取者的健康状况和饮食结构。
美国有线电视新闻网已联系美国农业部和卫生与公众服务部征求置评。
代理此案的一家律师事务所表示，这一裁决“是在为全美数百万依赖食品券援助的家庭恢复必要食品救助的重要一步”。
“该裁决明确表明，美国农业部不能绕过规定全国食品券计划运作方式的法律护栏，”国家法律与经济正义中心的高级律师凯瑟琳·迪布尔-梅多斯说道，“这证实了家庭理应拥有一个运作清晰、不令人困惑的计划。”
Federal judge blocks state bans on buying soda and candy with food stamps

A federal judge on Monday blocked the Trump administration from allowing five states to ban the purchase of sugary drinks and candy with food stamps.
The decision is a major setback for Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s “Make America Healthy Again” movement, which is focused on minimizing the consumption of ultraprocessed foods to reduce the prevalence of chronic diseases such as obesity and diabetes.
Kennedy has worked closely with Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins, who has granted waiver requests by nearly two dozen states to restrict food purchases in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, the formal name for food stamps. Not all of the bans have gone into effect yet.
US District Judge Amy Berman Jackson in the District of Columbia ruled that the US Department of Agriculture lacked the authority to approve state waivers in pilot projects in Colorado, Iowa, Nebraska, Tennessee and West Virginia.
In their waivers, the states sought to change the federal definition of food to one that restricted certain products. The bans differed somewhat in each state, with all limiting the purchase of sugary drinks, such as soda and energy beverages, and some also restricting candy. The limits applied to all SNAP recipients, with no exceptions allowed.
The five food stamp enrollees who brought the suit argued they need to buy the restricted items for their health and wellness — describing some of the drinks as necessary to address Type 1 diabetes, kidney issues and lack of energy.
Jackson pointed out that her decision is not intended as a comment on whether the bans are a good idea.
“The federal defendants and the states may have a genuine desire to improve the health of SNAP households by encouraging healthy choices at the store, and they can take lawful steps to meet those goals,” Jackson wrote. “But what they cannot do is violate the law and their own regulations along the way.”
The judge noted the authority the USDA is relying on allows the agency to enact pilot projects to test the efficiency of the SNAP program but does not include improving the health and diet of recipients.
CNN has reached out to the USDA and HHS for comment.
One of the law firms that brought the case said the ruling “is a major step in restoring essential food assistance to the millions of families that rely on SNAP nationwide.”
“This decision makes clear that the USDA cannot bypass the legal guardrails that establish how SNAP must operate across the country,” said Katharine Deabler-Meadows, senior attorney at the National Center for Law and Economic Justice. “It affirms that families deserve a program that works without confusion.”
