Your thoughts and demands place more pressure on companies and your basically trying to control every aspect of life.

You’d place too much on companies and what if they’re out by 1calorie. What are you / parents planing to do, fine them ??

Question 9. What are your views on the proposed requirements shown below for the display of calorie information?

Calorie information should be provided at all points of choice
No
Calorie information should be displayed in the same font and size as the price
No
Calorie information should be provided in calorie only and not also kilojoule
No, no one understands it anyway
Calorie information should include the reference statement of “adults need around 2,000 calories a day”
? No they don’t, men are reportedly more and women less. Have you actually thought this through or is this just false news being reported??

Please select one item
It should be a requirement for businesses
It should be an option for businesses
Don’t know
Please explain your answer
How can you count calories on potions that may slightly vary. This is a ridiculous idea by someone tying to make a name for themselves

Please give us your views
Less micro management from a govt determined to control every part of life and business

Question 12. What other mitigated measures could be adopted for consumers who may find calorie information upsetting?

Please give us your views
Are you trying to confuse the issue with this question? Do you think a single parent with 4 kids is reading calories when shopping or buying from a takeaway and then finds it upsetting?
You the govt are trying to put fear into everyone with calculating every aspect of people lives, choices and options.

Question 13 . Please list any costs to businesses in addition to those listed that you think need to be considered in our economic evaluation.

You are proposing a ridiculous piece of legislation which amounts to be nothing but a hinderance to business which will add to their costs and ultimately cost to the public.
This is an impossible proposal to meet.

Question 14 . What support, in addition to detailed written guidance, would businesses need to implement calorie labelling effectively?

Questions

Question 16. Please comment on our proposals for enforcement and implementation outlined in section 10.

Please give us your views
You are quick to implement and enforce food law.
However when was the last time you held a parent accountable for over feeding their child??

Question 17 . How could any requirements be enforced, in a way that is fair and not overly burdensome?

Please give us your views
Not possible as you are trying to enforce a ridiculous idea

Question 18 . What impacts, if any, do you think the proposed policy would have on people on the basis of their: age, sex, race, religion, sexual orientation, pregnancy and maternity, disability, gender reassignment and marriage/civil partnership? Please consider both potentially positive and negative impacts and provide evidence where available. Comment on each characteristic individually.

Please give us your views
Is this question for real?? The discussion is about food and nothing else.

Question 19. What impacts, if any, do you think the proposed policy would have on people living with socio-economic disadvantage? Please consider both potentially positive and negative impacts and provide evidence where available.

Please give us your views
So let me get this right, you want business to work harder and go to more expense in producing information on their products which will in turn increase costs to consumers.
Do you honestly think socioeconomic (ridiculous tag) disadvantaged people look at calories?
Has the person who thought this out ever been to a takeaway and heard anyone ask, how many calories are in my korma that’s just been made from scratch??
