Can We Not Survive Without Coca-Cola?

A video from a US congressional hearing has gone viral in which Republican Congressman Brandon Gill questioned whether Coca-Cola has any nutritional value and if Americans need it to survive.

The debate revolves around the SNAP (food stamp) program, which provides food assistance to low-income families. Critics argue that taxpayer money should not be used to buy sugary drinks like Coke, while others say the government’s role is to provide food assistance without dictating choices.
