American Dietetic Association: Shill for Big Food.

"The problems at the ADA stem from the fact that they receive funding from some of the biggest processed food and nutritional product corporations. Take a look at some of the companies that either fund the ADA or write Nutrition Facts sheets for them:"

The American Dietetic Association is stuck on a 1970s nutritional program, handing out bad advice because they have joined hands with the processed food industry, and they can't bite the corporate hands that feed them. In her book, Food Politics, Marion Nestle, a Professor of Nutrition, Food Studies, and Public Health at New York University, wrote:
"The ADA's stance on dietary advice is firmly pro-industry; one of its basic tenets is that there is no such thing as a good or a bad food. The Association is apparently willing to enter into partnerships with any food company or trade organization, regardless of the nutritional quality of its products."

Don’t forget DUK's corporate sponsors Kellogg’s and Shredded Wheat, great BG raising food. Start your day with a bowl of cereal and shoot up the med’s. Don’t forget we are all different. Looking forward to the usual full English breakfast, no toast of course, I love the smell of fried bacon and fresh coffee in the morning. It’s a tough life but someone’s gotta do it.
