“Food, culinary, and management skills
transcend most areas of practice. Registered
dietitians, whether in a clinical or community
setting, where they are responsible for
consultation, changing behavior, or
improving a family’s diet and lifestyle,
routinely translate nutrition science into
food choices for specific audiences.”
