Dietitians Of Canada Pleased To See Support For Nutrition Program In Ontario Budget

"Dietitians of Canada pleased to see support for money in their pockets."

The disingenuous DoC are at it again making it seem as if they add value.

" Positive effects on nutrition for Ontarians can be expected through announcements in this budget, such as:

- Investments in childhood obesity programs;

- Support for student nutrition programs;

- Access to dietitians through additional Family Health Teams;

- Funding to support consumption of local vegetables and fruit through the Pick Ontario Freshness campaign;

- Poverty reduction strategies;

- Investments in hospice and end of life care;

- Investments in E-health - including a diabetes registry helping people with diabetes manage their condition in conjunction with health care providers.

Nutrition is a key factor in maintaining health, and Dietitians of Canada supports initiatives that increase access to healthy foods and the professional nutrition expertise of Registered Dietitians."

Since expert diet advice is clearly a huge part of the problem, any effort involving them will not work.
