Obesity is a growing problem in the Isle of Man, as is the increase in related illnesses, and it's putting a strain on the health service.
The views of Public Health Medicine Consultant Dr Paul Emerson, who says it's not just down to adults.
For example, around 17% of children in last year's reception classes at the Island's schools were overweight or obese.
That doesn't bode well for the future, with current research indicating 60% of men and 50% of women will be obese by 2050, if present trends continue.
Dr Emerson says the DHSS is looking to act now before it's too late:
MHK to assess level of support for chief minister bid
IoM Government to consider impact and implications of UK triple lock changes
Car parking will return to Castletown's Market Square in October
Lifeboat Operations Manager reflects on 45 years with Peel RNLI
