Save Nutrition In Virginia

🖨️ Print post

In Virginia, the American Dietetic Assn. is pushing a bill that would grant a monopoly on nutrition counseling to Registered Dietitians. This would be devastating for real food and health in Va. For more background on this nutrition licensing bill see: http://va4hf.org/HB345.html

The bill (HB345) will be heard THIS TUESDAY, Jan. 31 at approx. 10am. It is in subcommittee 2
