The Campbell Soup Co. is planning to spend $10 million to fight obesity and hunger among children in Camden, N.J., where the company has its headquarters.

The city is among the nations poorest. One study found that nearly 40 percent of its children are obese — well above the national rate of 32 percent.

The company says it will work with several other groups to try to reduce those problems.
