157. Navigating calorie counts on menus

Holistic Health Radio

The UK has recently introduced a law requiring any large restaurants, cafes, pubs, takeaway shops, home delivery services, entertainment venues and specialised food stores with more than 250 employees to display the calorie content of the food, drinks, and alcoholic beverages they sell to consumers. They also have to show the recommended adult daily caloric intake on their menus.

The rule has been introduced in an attempt to combat rising numbers of obesity and other health conditions in the UK… But are they doing more harm than good?

In today's episode of Holistic Health Radio we dive into the impact of calorie counts on food items, whether they affect food choice or population health and more specifically the negative consequences calorie counts have for people predisposed or recovering from disordered eating or eating disorders.
