The UK has the highest level of obesity in Western Europe, ahead of countries such as France, Germany, Spain and Sweden. Obesity levels in the UK have more than trebled in the last 30 years
and, on current estimates, more than half the population could be obese by 2050. Being obese puts people at a higher risk for health problems such as heart disease, stroke, high blood
pressure, diabetes and certain cancers.
