Rep. Keith Self, a member of the U.S. Congress representing Texas' 3rd district, has recently taken to social media to express his stance on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and its funding for sugary sodas. In a series of tweets, Rep. Self discusses his proposed legislation known as the FIZZ-NO Act.
On March 24, 2025, Rep. Self tweeted about the ongoing debate regarding SNAP funding for sugary beverages: "Glad to see this debate on SNAP is trending. Taxpayers shouldn’t be covering the cost of sodas." He announced his bill that aims to eliminate SNAP funding for such products and expressed eagerness to bring it to a vote.
Later that day, at 14:51 UTC, he reiterated his commitment by tweeting: "Agreed! I’ve introduced a bill for this—the FIZZ-NO Act." This message further emphasizes his proposal's objective to remove financial support for sugary sodas from SNAP.
In another tweet posted at 15:02 UTC on March 24, Rep. Self responded directly to an individual user while promoting his legislative initiative: "Exactly @GuntherEagleman." He highlighted that the FIZZ-NO Act is ready and called for it to be presented on the Floor for voting.
