Why Visit?
Diet and nutrition are subjects on everyone�s mind these days. EatRight.org is the official website of the American Dietetic Association, a professional organization for dieticians and nutritionists.
I visited this site hoping to find practical information on healthy eating, but found it to be oriented primarily toward professional dieticians and nutritionists. It�s a little hard for the average consumer to find useful information here. You can, however, access nutrition information for various foods, and download diabetic exchange lists, nutrition fact sheets, and food pyramids.
Unless you are a registered nutritionist or dietician, much of the other information found here will not be relevant. A lot of space is devoted to coverage of ADA events, meetings, and careers in dietetics and nutrition.
Books and other publications on nutrition can be purchased and some timely, seasonal articles on food, shopping and nutrition are included, but for the most part, this site focuses on diet and nutrition professional concerns.
