Members of a Kent council are calling for a task force to be set up to tackle the area's high levels of obesity.
Medway's Labour opposition said the council needed to be more proactive to tackle the "crisis" in which nearly one third of adults are obese.
Councillor Tristan Osborne said it should promote sport and healthy eating in schools and hospitals.
Cabinet member Mike O'Brien said the council had taken the obesity issue "very seriously for a long, long time".
