Oklahoma City officials are celebrating a new initiative to show calories in non alcoholic drinks.
The "Balance Calories Oklahoma" partners the Oklahoma Beverage Association and Oklahoma Grocers Association with the Oklahoma City-County Health Department.
The new labeling will be found on vending machines, self-serve fountain dispensers and retail coolers in convenience stores, restaurants and other locations.
KOSU's Michael Cross spoke with OKC Mayor Mick Cornett about his thoughts on the new program.
Balance Calories Oklahoma is part of the Balance Calories Initiative, a national, multi-year effort from America's leading beverage companies and the American Beverage Association to help fight obesity.
The goal is to reduce per person calorie consumption from drinks by 20% nationally by 2025.
