Talks over a new, cross-government strategy are taking place, to try and combat the ever-growing issue of obesity in the Isle of Man.
They've been prompted by results from the Public Health Directorate's latest lifestyle survey, which show two-thirds of adults and a quarter of children of primary school age are overweight.
