For February 2023, the American Academy of Pediatrics published Clinical Guidelines for the Evaluation and Treatment of Children and Adolescents with Obesity. As dietitians who work with children and adolescents who struggle with their relationship with food, body and well-being, we had to talk about this.

The FNCE Experience
I had the pleasure of attending the 2022 Food and Nutrition Conference and Expo (aka FNCE) in October. This is a national conference for registered dietitians and dietetic technicians, registered. So basically, thousands of nutrition professionals converge on an unsuspecting town to learn about emerging science, network with like-minded individuals, and partake in delicious food and beverages. Britt and I decided to record a short podcast episode to talk about our experience at FNCE. We learned a lot of great information that we will share with you in upcoming episodes. We even do a live taste test of some READ MORE

C is for Cottage Cheese
Before I dive into cottage cheese, I want to give you a little background on why I chose cottage cheese for the letter ‘C’ above the plethora of other yummy ‘C’ foods. Growing up I would be classified as your typical “picky eater”. I survived on peanut butter sandwiches, chicken nuggets, mashed potatoes, corn and green beans. That was pretty much the extent of my culinary palette. While my palette grew some as I reached adulthood, it really exploded when I began studying nutrition and dietetics. I do not want to give the impression that this was simple. I didn’t READ MORE

What is Nutrition Anthropology?
Before we jump into Nutrition Anthropology specifically, I think it would be a good idea to define anthropology itself. According to Merriam-Webster, anthropology is “the science of human beings; especially: the study of human beings and their ancestors through time and space and in relation to physical character, environmental and social relations, and culture”. Nutritional anthropology narrows that focus to food and food systems. With that in mind, let’s talk about what I mean by Nutrition Anthropology and why it is the title of this blog and the future podcast. Registered dietitians are often touted as the food experts.
