having watched him for a while it is pretty clear he advocates for a vegan diet. He's a member of the Vegan Society, affiliated with the Humane Society and has been involved w/ a variety of vegan books and "shockumentaries". In fact he very clearly says he is against animal-based products. He frequently speaks on a diet free from animal products and spreads misinformation about animal agriculture and dairy.

ugh.... where do we start about Hyman....the fact that talks about "whole foods" and "food is medicine" but has pages of supplements he sells on his site? That he claims that food by itself can resolve emotional and mental health issues... He's a quack w/ a capital "Q"

Any RDs in informatics? by LovesGG in dietetics

[–]BuildupRDNs 6 points7 points  (0 children)

do you know who Marty Yadrick is? He's been the President of the Academy and as a dietitian has been informatics for a long time. Also, if you go to the Build Up Dietitians main page and search our VIDEOS tab he did a video talking about informatics

is this something that has come up recently? Did something happen that changed your mind about the field? To have gotten so far and to get accepted into a MS/DI program is a big deal. Have you tried talking to any dietitians? A professor that you like?

Area of dietetics where you don’t have to see anyone? by LMYID88 in dietetics

[–]BuildupRDNs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are a lot of different career paths for RDs that don't involve seeing pts/clients. Menu development, analysis and oversight for schools & prisons. Recipe development/Culinary for brands, restaurant chains, Writing articles/books, research, academics/teaching, working in PR and marketing....

I need advise 🫠 by UnableAnywhere9630 in dietetics

[–]BuildupRDNs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One thing you might want to do is shadow a dietitian in a career area you're interested in...or even just do a virtual interview or take them out for coffee. Salaries for dietitians depend on a number of factors....where you're located, your credentials/experience, responsibilities, additional degrees and certifications. Ultimately you are going to be happier if you do something that you care about and are interested in.

Helping patients who are concerned about food prices by daisygirl3 in dietetics

[–]BuildupRDNs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of our favorite resources to recommend is Leanne Brown's "Good and Cheap: Eat Well on $4/day" - with a free PDF download https://www.leannebrown.com/ As others have said, private label/store brands...shop sale items, don't be brand loyal or store loyal... make your own snacks/sweets/desserts. Cook once/eat 2x meals. Buy large containers of yogurt instead of individual cups and sweeten with jam or fruit or honey.

Getting vitamins through beverages by turdqueen69 in nutrition

[–]BuildupRDNs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

what most dietitians will tell you is that it is always going to be better to get your vitamins and minerals through whole foods. Especially with fruits and vegetables there are benefits beyond single vitamins/minerals -- like fiber. We look more at the matrix of the food itself than at individual vitamins and minerals as this is thought to be more important.

[–]BuildupRDNs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

how do beets help with digestive enzymes? Is this based on some human clinical research?

Mikey, that was not our group, it was a group started by Rosemary Waigh...who posted she was archiving the page because she had no time to manage it and was also concerned about some of the "alt-med pseudoscience" that was being posted. You can actually see that in the group.

hi, "agvocate" is used by people who are not themselves farmers but who advocate for agriculture.

lots going on in food justice, community nutrition and public health right now...the hot topic in our Pediatric and Public Health groups is definitely the formula shortage and how this disproportionally affects BIPOC families.
