Do not introduce mandatory calorie labelling to all menus.
Ask that eating establishments provide a physical or digital menu that displays nutritional information at the specific request of the customer so that being exposed to calories is a choice, not an obligation.
There is limited evidence to suggest that calorie labelling has any significant impact on overall food purchases of the general population, but what is certain is that this legislation will cause a great deal of distress and anxiety for those who suffer with eating disorders. Many
scientists, health workers, and those who live with eating disorders have called for this legislation to be scrapped. This stategy is dangerous and absolutely not the panacea to rising obesity.
