Registered Dietitians in the News
Dear Readers:
Due to the burgeoning communication channels and immense success of RDNs in finding a presence in media outlets, the Academy will no longer be able to publish Registered Dietitians in the News. In the past, fewer members were active with the media; myriad members today are media-connected. So, we must ensure parity for all of our over 75,000 members and the available space simply does not permit us to do so.
The Academy does not have editorial or other control over the contents of the
referenced Web sites, is not responsible for the opinions expressed by the authors of listed articles and does not endorse any product or service.
The Academy’s Position Papers and Practice Papers are available at:
