A woman in recovery from anorexia has slammed “harmful” government policy forcing chain restaurants to put calories on menus.
Rachel Egan, from south London, said the policy will prolong the recovery of people living with eating disorders and could make people feel “guilt and shame” when they go out to eat.
The 30-year-old, who works in communications and is a mental health campaigner, said the policy left her feeling “fraught with anxiety” when she went out for dinner with her boyfriend a few nights ago.
