Bermuda's rise up the world obesity table has been blamed on too many "massive bowls of Coco Pops."

The island is now the fourth fattest country in the world, according to the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development.

Bermuda's health coordinator Jennifer Attride-Stirling told The Royal Gazette newspaper: "If they have breakfast every day, it might be a massive bowl of Coco Pops.

"The reason they buy that might be because it's two for the price of one. How can we move them away from that behaviour? We have to see the motives behind their behaviour - a lot of it is cultural."

And she added: "The true picture could be even worse as latest stats show 23% of islanders are obese and a further 38% overweight. A very large proportion of people are putting on a few pounds every year."
