Assembly OKs yogurt as New York's state snack
ALBANY -- New York is one step closer to making yogurt its official state snack.
The state's Assembly endorsed the measure 85-1 yesterday. The legislation passed the State Senate last month and now goes to Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo for consideration.
The idea of making yogurt the state's official snack came from a fourth-grade class from western New York.
New York is the nation's top yogurt producer, making 741 million pounds of the dairy product last year, well above the 591 million produced by second-place California. -- AP
