San Antonio, restaurants develop healthy options

SAN ANTONIO, TX City health officials are working with the restaurant association to put healthier options on San Antonio menus. They're hoping that a voluntary program will result in healthier menu items without resorting to trans fat bans or calorie-posting requirements.

On Thursday, they're scheduled to announce the first agreement at a downtown Tex-Mex restaurant.

With the city's high obesity rate, there's plenty of incentive for public health officials to target the city's eating habits.

Government statistics show nearly a third of San Antonio-area residents are obese.
