Rejected petition To reverse the recent decision to provide calorie content on menus

To reverse the enactment of calorie disclosure on menus in restaurants and other public food vendors menus

More details

To disclose calorie content on menus is equivalent to writing a death or half life sentence to the huge number of people, old and especially young , suffering from mental health issues which manifest themselves in eating disorders. Those who don’t have problems eating are quite capable of making their own food related decisions. The government isn’t required to attempt to micro manage that, at the risk of those who are unable to do so and will NOW, be unable to manage to eat out without huge challenges.
