I know I said I’d leave this thread but it dawned on me: if my stuff is all so simple, perhaps you could’ve saved me years of turmoil studying the following academic courses, some of which were unforgiving subjects that you couldn’t BS at all, or my masters thesis that I had to present to several Phd’s (one of whom used to write for THIS SITE):
preparatory math
general chemistry
organic chemistry
biochemistry
microbiology
contemporary nutrition
nutrition communication
medical nutrition therapy
nutrition counseling
energy and exercise
community nutrition
research methodology
masters thesis (literature review I did)
food and culture
food science
food technology
issues, trends, and challenges in nutrition (here I thought we RD’s were so behind the times on everything)
basic nutrition
advanced human nutritiion and metabolism
foodservice management
Some of these courses were given in two separate semesters (eg, nutr & metab I and II, chem I and II). Again, I could’ve been saved all this time and aggravation had I known my profession and understanding of nutrition science was all so simple.
PS: I don’t know of ONE profession (law, medicine, personal training, sales, whatever) that doesn’t have some incompetent or lame people.
I actually DON’T want to argue or fight with anyone here or get snobby but I see no reason why my field has to be broguht up in a negative light out of nowhere. [/quote]
Lol - shut it dude - you’re an RD for God’s sake - you don’t know SHIT!! ; )
Ha ha at the dumbfuckery in this thread - love ya bro!! : )
Seriously though - it’s a tough curriculum - I’ve taken many of those courses myself, and it does get seriously fucking old listening to self proclaimed experts shitting on the education process. Because you know - board certified professionals are OBVIOUSLY fucking retards, right? [/quote]
I get it, many people rip on RDs so I’m sure it gets old when a few of you on here are of a better mindset and really get this whole nutrition thing.
But, does it not bug you as a whole your profession has been way behind the times?
It bugs me when trainers out there do dumb shit, but at least most of the time the dumb shit isn’t harming one’s health 
(though certainly is has and can).
Skynett, you’re a smart dude that in interactions in the past I have respect for, so know that it’s not a personal attack on your or brick as individuals, but as a whole.
Shit in this country has to change dietary info wise, and some RDs still hold on to dumb shit. In fact, I’ve had to stop letting them speak at my senior center because the last one that came in talked about controlling BP mainly through salt restriction, and even then after I gave a talk about red meat and eggs being perfectly healthy, she got up on stage right after and in a high BP talk decided to say “limit red meat consumption because it can increase cancer risk”…

Yes, in a case like this you’re dealing with an antiquated RD. But again we have to look at context, which she didn’t do. Saturated fats taken moderately are beneficial. In some cases it should be limited though.
