The UK’s Food Standards Agency has proposed that all restaurants, hotels, cafes and fast-food outlets should label the nutritional contents of their food in order to improve eating habits and tackle the growing problem of obesity.

The UK Restaurant Association criticised the proposals, calling them unnecessary and arguing that they would take away the enjoyment of eating out.
