What the petition asks
Reverse the move to include calorie content next to menu items in recognition of the impact this will have on mental health
Seeing calorie content can be very triggering for people struggling with disordered eating, and in recovery patients are told to avoid counting calories- this move makes this practically impossible. There could be other options such as a QR code to view calories.
