March 10, 2010 is the 3rd annual Registered Dietitian Day.
According to the ADA, "as the nation's food and nutrition experts, registered dietitians are committed to improving the health of their patients and community. Registered Dietitian Day commemorates the dedication of RDs as advocates for advancing the nutritional status of Americans and people around the world."
Do you know a RD? (Ahem, ahem). If you have sought advice, nutritional assistance or medical nutrition therapy from a RD, it might be a nice gesture to take this day to say thanks. Or, if you haven't, this might be the day to do so! To find an RD in your area, visit the ADA website and click on "Find A Registered Dietitian" on the upper right side of the page.
This isn't just a day/month to toot our own horns (although it is a time for us to try to get our messages out to the public.) Many individual RD's and local dietetic organizations will be hosting events throughout the month. For information on some in the NC area, contact me.
