The soaring cost of treating Type-2 diabetes, which is caused by unhealthy
lifestyles, is in danger of exhausting the health service's resources, he
said.
.
He condemned successive governments for adding to the crisis by selling
off school playing fields and "taking the competition out of school
sports".
.
He believes taxing unhealthy food to stem health problems should also be
considered.
.
"Obesity combined with diabetes is one of the greatest threats to humanity
today," said Dr Jones of ITV's Good Morning Britain.
.
"Half the population will be clinically obese by 2050, which is a
terrifying thought.
.
"One of the worrying aspects is that there is so much obesity that being
simply overweight is now considered normal."
.
At least 3.2 million people in the UK have been diagnosed with diabetes
and about 850,000 more may have the condition without knowing it.
.
The annual care bill for the NHS is 10billion but forecasters say diabetes
and obesity will create a 19billion funding gap in 10 years.
.
Dr Jones, an ambassador for online patients' forum diabetes.co.uk, added:
"We need more leisure centres and should consider having personal trainers
on the NHS to stop obesity before it starts.
.
"We have not done nearly enough in the preventative field.
.
"There is a clear need to make it easier for people to buy healthy fruit
and vegetables and to take more exercise.
