You've probably seen all the activity surrounding our opposition to HB1060, the bill now introduced in the Colorado legislature that would give dietitians a monopoly on nutrition services and censorship over nutrition information.  What is interesting is how many Registered Dietitians agree with us that the bill is a terrible overreach by their trade association, the American Dietetic Association. 

So, we would like to take a moment to reassure our friends, customers, coworkers and Nutritional Health Coaches who are, in fact, Registered Dieticians that they are OK with us.  Our beef is with their political folks in Washington, DC, who think their power grab and the underhanded wording of their Bill is acceptable to Coloradoans.  That's not OK.  

ADA, we know you want more power, prestige, and money, but speaking as an organization that provides vast nutrition education and services to our customers for FREE, we think your principles could use a multi vitamin to fortify them.

Please, American Dietetic Association, leave Colorado alone.  Really, as much as we like RDs, we don't need the ADA telling us what to do.    Read our apology to Registered Dietitians.
