Protected Term[edit]

Just a quick note that this article is very American-centric. In some countries nutritionist actually is a protected term. Tielec01 (talk) 01:15, 3 January 2013 (UTC)

It also assumes that every nutritionist is a nutter.--Just relax, and stay funny (talk) 01:50, 3 January 2013 (UTC)

Use of Dietitian[edit]

There seems to be a nutritionist posing as a dietitian in the guardian this week:

https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2023/mar/21/im-a-dietitian-this-is-what-i-eat-in-a-day

offering clinical dietary advice does not appear to be her job, and she sounds like a nutritionist. Her website says she is both!!

If she is both then does that mean that nutrition woo has crossed over into actual reality by having someone get the real qualifications to get the badge and then just peddling cobblers. If so how can anyone possibly trust a dietitian in the UK?--137.220.70.146 (talk) 11:13, 21 March 2023 (UTC)
