In current events, while mental health and more specifically eating disorders are such a huge problem, the government want to make it compulsory for restaurants, cafes and pubs to include calories on menus.

More details

As someone who has been through anorexia, even when I’ve been recovered for nearly 2 year’s, I would (and so would so many other people) feel compelled to then chose my food and drink based on which has the least calories which could send me into a relapse, and can trigger other people into disordered eating who have never been through it also.
