...although I have a B.S. in dietetics. I know how hard it is to change attitudes about food, and to help people make better food choices. It's a subject that we can all get incredibly defensive about.
I really wish that basic nutrition education was mandatory in schools, and I wish that nutrition/meal planning/grocery shopping classes were part of the food stamp program. Everyone should know how to read a nutrition label, and everyone should know how to get the most nutritious food for the lowest price.
But again, all of this costs money. It's a matter of priorities, and I'm not sure what it will take to make it a priority.
