 Welcome Nutritionists!
Between super-sized portions, soda-consumption and fast food, our nation's got some pretty pathetic eating habits. That means challenges abound for nutritionists and health educators like you. And we're here to help.
Our goal is to help you to keep informed by providing you with an ever-changing index of up-to-date nutrition news including sections on heart health, kids and weight and diabetes. There are also consumer and foodservice recipes, a customized Calorie & BMI Calculator and downloadable elementary school nutritional programs. How's that for a healthy menu? Together we can make a world of difference, changing our nation's diet one day at a time.
