Bay State seeks to curb obesity epidemic
(NECN: Prat Thakkar, Boston, Mass.) - Massachusetts is ramping up its fight against obesity. A new proposal from Governor Deval Patrick targets the menus at restaurants and schools. Massachusetts will require major restaurant chains to prominently post calorie counts for their fare either at the counter or on the menu.

The Boston Globe reports the plan goes before the Public Health Council next week. read more
