Rejected petition Reverse the decision to show the calories in restaurants and takeaways

To not put how many calories are in the food that your ordering or have them presented on a menu

More details

I suffer from an eating disorder and having calories presented in the food I’m going to eat is very harmful and will trigger me and so many others. This idea is only showing an unhealthy and obsessive relationship with food and numbers. Yes there is an obesity problem in this country but shoving calories in peoples faces will not help them change and will only deteriorate their mental health. A healthy lifestyle is what you should be preaching not a disordered one.
