American Beverage Statement on Today’s Make America Healthy Again Event
WASHINGTON – Statement from American Beverage on today’s Make America Healthy Again event in Indiana:
“Restricting SNAP purchases or banning safe ingredients won’t make anyone healthier – they only create headlines. Rather, they’re punitive policies that leverage fearmongering and misinformation while taking decisions away from Hoosiers and giving them to government. The outcome? Empty grocery store shelves, increased prices and cashiers forced to be the food police.
“Not to mention, Secretary Kennedy continues to focus on SNAP – an issue not within his purview at the Department of Health and Human Services.
“We will always work with Governor Braun to make Indiana’s families stronger. Providing Americans with more choices along with clear, transparent information is the better way to help improve our health. And America’s beverage companies have been leading the way with meaningful solutions for decades.
“We are proud to be part of Indiana communities – providing 5,000 good-paying jobs and supporting 85,000 more. Today’s proposals put their future and investment in Indiana at risk.”
