Doctors unite to combat obesity
Organisations representing nearly every doctor in the UK have united in a single campaign to tackle rising levels of obesity.
The campaign will start by reviewing the case for fat taxes, promoting exercise, restricting food advertising and other measures.
They criticised sponsorship of the Olympics by fast food firms as sending "the wrong message".
The Department of Health said it was taking action to combat obesity.
