Following McDonald’s heavy presence at the Utah Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics annual conference, Dietitians for Professional Integrity co-founder and strategic director Andy Bellatti responds to McDonald’s Director of Nutrition in this Civil Eats op-ed.
The real shame here is that Registered Dietitians had to endure an advertisement for McDonald’s at a professional meeting. If only the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics would wake up from its Big Food-sponsored slumber and take a leadership role in rightfully calling out how the answer to solving this country’s ailing health lies not in healthwashed fast food but in not allowing the likes of McDonald’s to champion itself as part of the solution.
