Here's the first part:
The American Dietetic Association is at it again, working tirelessly to make sure that the only nutrition information you get is from members of their union.
I've said it before and I'll say it now: I consider the American Dietetic Association one of the most destructive influences on eating behavior in America.
They never met a government policy they didn't like. They believe supplements aren't important. They've continue to promote high-carb low-fat diets. They believe there's no such thing as a bad food, no surprise since a huge percentage of their corporate sponsorship comes from industry and Big Food. They've never had an original thought in their collective head.
One small story about the ADA that may help shed light on just what they're all about. The American Dietetic Association once tried to stop the late nutritionist Shari Lieberman, PhD, CNS, RD from using her RD as a professional credential.
Why, you ask? Because she broke from the party line and actually recommended vitamin and mineral supplements.
Lieberman sued the ADA, won full rights to her degree, then promptly stopped using it. "The CNS exam asks you what enzyme activates the pancreatic enzyme trypsinogen into its active form", she once told me. "The RD exam asks you questions like "how do you make a lemon merenguie pie."
Remember, folks, next time you're in a hospital, these are the people responsible for the jello, mashed potatoes and apple juice.
Asking the American Dietetic Association to be the final say in nutrition education is like asking the Taliban to teach a college course in world religions at Harvard.
