Get rid of the calories on menus
Rejected

What the petition asks
we need parliament/the government to get rid of the calories on menus as it extremely detrimental to the health and well-being of people across the country with many suffering from eating disorders or struggled eating.
The calorie counters not only make people want to make healthier choices but also no choices at all therefore having an impact on the local business and mental health. After an already difficult 2 years with mental health struggles now the country has to suffer more with body dysmorphia, bulimia, anorexia and many more eating disorders and mental health issues. i feel as though this needs to be changed for the health and safety of people across the country.
