Overturn the law regarding calorie information on menus

What the petition asks
I can’t eat out, at restaurants, cafes or even meal deals. Why? Because nine months into my recovery from anorexia I am STILL plagued by calories on everything. I am asking for the law on calorie counts to be re-assessed.
Studies show that admissions for eating disorders are only increasing. According to a survey by the charity Beat Eating Disorders, 95% of people affected by eating disorders in Scotland feel calories on menus negatively impact them. I am asking for the law on calorie counts to be overturned.
