This is what the NYT article and the underlying study both concluded. While families on food stamps did spend a somewhat larger share of their food budget on soft drinks and other unhealthy foods, there was not a big difference in their behavior compared with families not receiving food stamps.

“In the shopping cart of a food stamp household: lots of soda.”
Come on folks, try to have your headlines reflect what the article says.
