Stop the Plan to get Calorie Counts being Implemented on Restaurant Menus.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Stop the calorie count being implemented on British restaurant menu’s as it is extremely harmful for people suffering with Eating Disorders, and mental health issues.
The lack of mental health funding in the UK is shocking, and with the governments new plan to “tackle obesity” after the effects of COVID-19, the calorie counts on restaurant and takeaway menus are extremely harmful for people who have eating disorders and mental health issues surrounding them. Please help in calling on the government to make the right decision and decide against putting the calorie intake on menu’s, as it could potentially cause much more harm than good.
