They are actually educators with a fairly basic understanding of food science and biochemistry. Their primary role is to educate their patients according to the current nutritional dogma. As someone with over 20 years experience as food scientist I am constantly amazed at how little basic science is studied by dieticians. Dieticians are not research scientists.

How did you manage to avoid getting the flu all throughout college? I got it really badly a couple of times as it swept through my dorms. I have heard that many times what we think is a flu bug is actually food poisoning, but either way, it's so miserable!! Hope you're feeling better now :) Wow, you’re a lucky girl!

we had a child with some wacky health problems…migraines at 5 days, lack of sleeping patterns, tiny, pale, generally sickly…went to plenty of nutritionists, harvard top in their field highly credentially hard to get appointments with docs, rds, you name it…with little results, actually no results, and thousands of dollars–really–wasted–if your goal is results–as was ours.

we did get results with the wap diet…amazing results actually–not an impressive credential to find..

our take away was if you want credentials…that’s one path

]]> Comment on Yes! I love Starbucks oatmeal! by Ivar http://infiniteblogging.wordpress.com/2009/01/08/yes-i-love-starbucks-oatmeal/#comment-2554 Ivar Mon, 14 Sep 2009 18:52:48 +0000 http://infiniteblogging.wordpress.com/?p=1277#comment-2554 Actually, a porridge is just a catch-all term for dishes like oatmeal, grits, etc. Porridge can be one or a combo of grains/legumes and can even contain meats. It was originally a savory dish, consumed any time of day but has come to be more of a breakfast dish. Starbuck's instant oatmeal is one of the lower quality types of oatmeal, similar to Quaker's instant oats. Higher quallity grains are the type that take half an hour to cook, taste much better and are better for you. Consistency, grain softness and other ingredients in your morning bowl is personal preference, nothing is set in stone.

Thank you for the tips! They sound like they would help. I will keep those in mind for the future. :) I try to avoid plastic as much as I can, but I figure I’ll probably can next year so I’ll just use the bags in the meantime.

I don't know if you're interested in some tips for freezing in jars or if you'd just rather go the safe route (in plastic). I mostly freeze in plastic (vacuum sealed) simply because it takes up less space in the freezer. But occassionally I do freeze in glass jars. I've learned two tips that really reduced breakage. The first is that to use straight sided jars rather than jars that have "shoulders" (narrowing at the top of the jar). Wide-mouthed pints are the best at this. If I need to use quarts, I will use a wide-mouthed quart rather than a regular-mouthed one. The other tip is to completely cool the jar in the refrigerator (to less than 40 degrees if possible) before putting it in the freezer. When I first heard this one, I didn't think much of it, but it really seems to work. Your soup looks WONDERFUL! Hi Annette.

They didn't find any difference between the two. I don't know what the qualifications are to be "organic" when it comes to meat, but I wonder if there might be more of a difference if a study looked at grass fed vs. grain fed.
