The fight against soda is going to the next level.
Mayors from 18 cities across the country want the government to stop allowing people with food stamps to buy the sugary drinks.
In a letter to Congress, the mayors say subsidies shouldn't be used for the drinks linked to health problems and obesity.
Three years ago, the U.S.D.A., which runs the food voucher program, turned down a request to ban soft drinks.
What do you think? Should food stamp recipients be banned from purchasing soft drinks and other sugary beverages?
