Provide Nutritional Info!

scruffykaz

Hi all,

I find myself frustrated by food establishments which do not provide nutritional infomation. I have emailed their head offices, only to be brushed off and thanked for my email and assured that "it is something that they are looking into".

I have started a petition which regarding the above subject which can be found here:

http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/44279

I would be grateful if you could sign this petition, share it on facebook and email on to any friends. I believe it is essential that nutritional information be provided by food establishment. The government bang on about obesity being a national problem. Well, it's time for them act and ensure that we have this information so that we can balance what we are eating.

Thanks for your support.

Thank you :-) It needs 100,000 signatures before it is even considered for debate in the House of Commons so fingers crossed!!

Good idea. I'll sign that now.

I notice Wagamamas now have nutrition info on their site, they didn't last year. (and I can see why as the calories are horrific!)

Frankie and Bennys only gives the info for their lighter choices stuff. I needed to eat more that eve than their lighter choices provided, but had no idea what to pick from the menu...

Hi there,

I understand your desire to know the nutritional value of what you're eating but as a trained chef myself I really wouldn't trust information from a restaurant only unless they are serving you pre-cooked factory foods (but I wouldn't eat out for that).

For example, even if a restaurant has set recipes a chefs discretion to add/minus items to make something better, so if one chef decides to add an extra knob of butter or goes a bit heavy handed on cheese or gives you extra of something etc. that can be an extra 100-200 calories per element of your meal. And that is me talking about set recipes, in most cases chefs create dishes by adding a bit of this and a bit off that even if it has been on the menu for years you can get a different taste each time.
