British celebrity chef Jamie Oliver is bringing his battle against obesity to Australia, setting up his “Ministry of Food” in the Queensland town of Ipswich, he announced Monday.

Oliver said that diet-related disease was the biggest killer in the country, where two-thirds of men and half of women are estimated to be overweight or obese, according to a Sydney University study.

“Let’s be frank, obesity is killing us,” she told reporters. “This is about educating young Queenslanders about how to prepare nutritious meals and help them lead long, healthy lives.”
