Obesity levels in Scotland are the second highest in the developed world behind the USA, new statistics have revealed.
The figures were published as the Scottish Government announced plans to remove sweets and fizzy drinks from schools.
Under new rules, the amount of chips served in school meals will also be cut and more fruit and vegetables provided.
Children's Minister Adam Ingram said he wanted to change young people's habits.
The figures , released by ISD Scotland, the statistical wing of the NHS, said the "obesity epidemic" in Scotland must be addressed and outlines the extent of the "major public health problem".

I wonder if Alex Salmond can indict Mike Meyers under the Geneva Convention, or something equally benign?
