2025 RationalWiki 'Oregon Plan' Fundraiser

There is no RationalWiki without you. We are a small non-profit with no staff—we are hundreds of volunteers who document pseudoscience and crankery around the world every day. We will never allow ads because we must remain independent. We cannot rely on big donors with corresponding big agendas. We are not the largest website around, but we believe we play an important role in defending truth and objectivity.

Fighting pseudoscience isn't free.
We are 100% user-supported! Help and donate $5, $10, $20 or whatever you can today with PayPal Logo.png!

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)
