I hope you called the local paper and spoke to the writer that wrote that,

and correct them. AND, offer something else from a " real " dietitian.

I have to respectfully disagree with you Merav.

Bob Green is an exercise physiologist, and telling people to " eat healthy "

is within the scope of his degree as far as I know. (And if an RD gets a lot of

money to be is ghost writer, that's entirely within the reasonable scope of

business practice - happens all the time - and more power to the RD that got

hired for THAT job)

And, it wasn't his " professional organization " that got him famous - it was

his abilities and networking and the people he knew, his TV presence, etc. . .

including Oprah - (I know a local guy and OLD friend of my husbands that

also worked with her in Telluride, but he just doesn't have the professional

savvy/presence, so Oprah stopped hiring him. His doctorate degree wasn't enough.

. .)

Joy Bauer, RD is on the View, the national news channel this am, and more.

It's not ADA that's gotten her where she's at, it's her own education and hard

work and personal connections.

Any one of us could be where Bob Greene is now, if we just worked our

connections right and maybe even were in the right place at the right time.

So, no

whining! ;-)

(I know a friend/RD that's a " head-hunter " of health professionals including

RDs. She has a sign in her office that says " No whining " in the circle with

a slash. She said if an RD is applying for a position and starts " whining "

at ALL, she wouldn't even consider referring that RD, and she also commented

that of all the health professions she worked with, RDs were by far the worst

whiners!)

He's just a clear example of who our competition is - and more power to him!

dietitian, he does not know what he is talking about! Last week I taped him on

Larry King and and while he has some good advice it is very limiited, and it is

what he does NOT know in his limited understanding that is dangerous, as usual.

I have not yet listened to the whole webcast, which I intend to do ASAP, and

then communicate this to Oprah. Anyone have any suggestions how I can contact

her personally?
