Dietetics and Nutrition
Read a great article at the Huffington Post Clarity in the Confusion of Corporate Wellness Programs. Talks about the importance of nutrition and the role of dietitians.
This, by far, is a great description of Registered Dietitians.
"While the term "nutritionist" is used loosely, the credential of Registered Dietitian is closely regulated by the Commission on Dietetic Registration who requires strict adherence with specific academic course work, a college degree, a supervised internship program much like a doctor completes a residency, successfully completing the registration exam, and continuing education. In short, Registered Dietitians are nutritionists but not all nutritionists are Registered Dietitians similar to all CPAs being accountants but not all accountants are CPAs."
