Massachusetts is obsessed with produce, according to a new study.

If this is too food-healthy for you then after you're done seeing how obsessed Massachusetts is with cantaloupe melons and string beans, come back here and see all the best places to get roast beef sandwiches all around Mass. Mmmm... meat.
