Take the calorie information off the Starbucks app to help people with eating disorders


Take the calorie information off the Starbucks app to help people with eating disorders
The Issue
When you open the Starbucks app to browse the menu or place an order, you are hit with caloric information right away. You don't have the option not to see how many calories are in what you want to order. For people recovering from an eating disorder, this feature is extremely harmful. I can't tell you how many times I have changed my order because of the calories that were in it.
A simple solution to this issue is to create the option to turn off the calories on the mobile Starbucks app. This way, people who want or need to see the information will still have access to it, but those who would prefer not to see it won't be forced to.
Not only is this a neutral and harmless action for Starbucks to take, but it will benefit both their sales (no more canceling or reducing orders due to numbers) and benefit their customers struggling with eating disorders (9% of the United States!).
Help us out, Starbucks. It's not a hard change to make.
