Yum!

I've been working with my nutritionist since last August (I'll supply an update at some future date). One of the things she and her colleagues talk about is how the traditional medical industry does not give out accurate nutritional information. Here's one reason why they don't. The annual conference of the California Dietetic Association had hundreds of dietitians and nutritionists attending from across California. The conference was sponsored by: McDonalds (who supplied a lunch), Sizzle, Boston Market, California Pizza Kitchen (the three catered a dinner), Corn Refiners Association (they make high fructose corn syrup), Domino's Pizza, Kraft, National Cattlemen's Beef Association, Hershey's, Nestle, Mars, Butter Buds, Coca-Cola, PepsiCo, Sara Lee and perhaps 25 other food corporations. The attendees can be seen as the gatekeepers of nutritional information and they're getting it from the food industry. One said, "I feel like we're sleeping with the enemy."
