چکیده
Welcome to the twelfth issue of All-island Obesity News. In this edition I am happy to announce that the Forum will host a workshop on June 8 2011 entitled „Weigh to Men‟s Health‟ supported by safefood and the Ulster Cancer Foundation. This workshop will highlight that excess weight is a health issue that most men are not aware of. Presentations will discuss best practice in how to target men providing examples of relevant projects on the island of Ireland and further afield. We are delighted to have guest speakers such as Professor Alan White, Dr. Noel Richardson and Professor Hugh McKenna. I would encourage you to register for this event as soon as possible as places are limited. I look forward to seeing you there.
