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:
Man treated for non-life threatening injuries following Ramsey incident
Two suspects in custody following Ramsey incident
Consultation open on plans to formally recognise the heritage of Douglas Head
Police dealing with 'serious incident' in Ramsey
