It’s my belief these production line dietitians are not stupid. In the UK I believe they are all University trained with a degree. When you look at the science, and I am talking about the science that was not bought and paid for, by junk food and big pharma. The fundamentals that many dietitians base their work on, does not stack up. The reduction of dietary saturated fats does not lead to a reduction in heart disease and stroke, this has been proved many times. Basing daily food intakes on carbohydrates i.e. sugars and starch, is no way to stay healthy and has proved to be an early death sentence for many diabetics.
So, the big question is why ? Why do University educated people, with a degree push a diet of death. Why do we see so many obese dietitians on the TV and in real life. Why is a dietitian, that truly understands the science, and sticks their head above the parapet of junk science and out-dated dogma, such a rare occurrence ? My money is on the few but increasing good guys and gals, have a conscience. They are not prepared to be a glorified Buzz Lightyear, and repeat the message installed in them back at the factory. The good guys and gals work for love, the pay cheque is secondary and they cannot be bought. No cushy deals flogging and endorsing margarine and high sugar junk for these people. They deserve our utmost respect.

Am in 100% agreement
Ah.. right on topic for what I wanted to say!! My sister s a 67 year old diabetic who loves wheat - she makes bread at home and has an incredible sweet tooth. Hey she takes the insulin so all is good (!!) Anyway, she has had bowel issues, incontinence etc. Now I'd say give up the wheat but no, guess what the "dietician" at the hospital told her to do... Eat Weetbix (same as your Weetabix?)
So there you have it - a full blown diabetic is advised to eat lots of wheat for breakfast. Unbelievable.
Some years back when working with children I often found they talked more sense than adults. They see things in a much purer and simpler way. Adults could learn from this and I include certain dietitians.

There are quite a number of dietitians out there who should go 'to infinity and beyond'

Hi Lynda,
Your comment "So there you have it - a full blown diabetic is advised to eat lots of wheat for breakfast. Unbelievable."
Sad to say this is almost 100% across the board, I say almost 100% because slowly slowly and yes perhaps too slowly things are beginning to change. There is a long way to go but if we each can do our own little bit we may just help someone to a healthier way of life. There are more enlightened health professionals 'out there' now who are beginning to make a difference. From little acorns oak trees grow?
