The city of New York and Mayor Bloomberg have implemented several policies intended to help cut obesity. The latest proposal had to get USDA approval, however. The plan would take sodas out of the list of items that individuals can purchase with food stamps. The U.S. Department of Agriculture, however, has told Bloomberg that they will not approve the plan.
