Rejected petition Stop the government from putting calorie counters on restaurant menus.

Support people struggling with eating disorders and don’t display the numbers of calories on menus.

More details

Calorie counting has not been proven to be effective, as it is what you are eating not the number of calories in it. This can also be incredibly damaging to people with eating disorders, or recovering from them, as places like restaurants are seen as safe places for many suffering with eating disorders, as they have a liberation in what they are eating.
