SNAP (Food Stamps) is not a social program. It's a program under the Department of Agriculture.
Farming is grueling thankless work.
If the guy farming tomatoes is allowed to to benefit from people spending SNAP benefits on his products why can't the guy growing sugar do the same?
Frankly, sugar is not used in soda - it's HFCS. I don't have a problem with people purchasing sugar to bake with or cook with.
