Dallas Mayor Does Dietitians Right!

Dallas Mayor Tom Leppert has proclaimed March 10, 2008 as Registered Dietitian Day. As dietitians spend much of their days debunking myths about nutrition that the consumer hears from mass media, their neighbor, their dog and the latest supplement insert, this is big win for RD's everywhere. RD's are THE Nutrition Expert.


Here are some of the highlights of the Proclamation:

WHEREAS Registered Dietitians are the food and nutrition experts who can translate the science of nutrition into practical solutions for healthy living; and

WHEREAS Registered Dietitians have degrees in nutrition, dietetics, public health or a related field from well-respected, accredited colleges and universities, completed an internship and passed an examination; and

WHEREAS Registered Dietitians use their nutrition expertise to help individuals make unique, positive lifestyle changes; and

WHEREAS Registered Dietitians work throughout the community in hospitals, schools, public health clinics, nursing homes, fitness centers, food management, food industry, universities, research and private practice; and

WHEREAS Registered Dietitians are advocates for advancing the nutritional status of Americans and people around the world
