Just what the doctor ordered

Doctors at three health centers in Massachusetts are fighting obesity in children of low-income families by giving them $1 a day coupons for fruit or vegetables.

50 families of four will be enrolled in this promotion of healthy eating. The coupons are redeemable at farmers markets.  The state since 1980 began issuing coupons to pregnant or breast-feeding low-income women and children at risk of malnourishment.
