SNAP is effective at addressing food security, reducing poverty, responding to natural disasters and economic downturns, and providing economic stimulus—every $1 spent generates $1.80 in economic activity. However, research fails to show that SNAP improves dietary quality. This represents a missed opportunity to support healthier eating for millions of American adults and children.
