I haven't read the study but the article makes me very very sad. Of

course,

I know this is true. As a " fat " RD, I've experienced the bias myself from

others in my profession. That's what prompted me to write the " Fat

Dietitian " article for Today's Dietitian a few years ago.

I hope that the study results doesn't deter people from seeking help from

RDs and I also hope that the study helps dietitians to be a bit more

introspective about what their feelings really are about fat people.

It's funny when my children were young grade school age (now they are in

their 20's) one woman told me " You allow your kids to eat junk and your a

dietitian! " She prided herself in giving her children only fruits and

vegetables for a snack.When her daughter came to my house she couldn't get the

junk in fast enough. (so when she came I would hide it). My children grew

up knowing it was always available and never over ate the " junk " food. Ice

cream, cookies, salty snacks were consumed in moderation. I watched their

consumption and anything that was eaten too often did not find it's way

back in the house. I always took my daughter swimming with me. Now I am

proud to say my children who have grown up to be young adults who are active

and consume a healthy diet such as fish, brown rice, lean meat, whole grains,

beans, and sweets are consumed in moderation. I am a firm believer that

one should be exposed to all foods so they don't make up for lost time when

they have access to sweets.

Forbidden fruit is always more desirable. You proved it.

My g/children have always had many different foods available, including what is

considered junk food. At all ages they chose wisely in my opinion. The 9 & 8

year olds always wait until after their dinner to chose what is usually a sweet

snack or desert. The 20 y.o. group still snacks on cereal and milk or fruits

instead of sweets (those 2 grew up at my house). The baby one, 2 1/2, has no

problems with food and is a carnivore, but loves green foods and grains.

Everything has always been available to all of them at the right age.

I have to agree.

Interestingly I heard some guy on a Fox News talk program last week. He was

commenting how his parents were vegetarian and he was raised vegetarian. ?He

talke?about how he LOVES all meat now and eats meat as often as he can - sounded

obsessive to me.

Sounded like his parents could have offered more choices when he was a child as

well.

I think it is how choices are presented. I was raised vegetarian with meat

never as an option, and still have absolutely no interest in eating meat. It is

fine for those who want it, but it has no appeal to me. My parents did explain

to me why they chose not to eat meat ( for better health), and made sure I

understood their reasons.

I do understand that being deprived of something can lead to obsessive behavior

when one finally has access to the thing they were deprived of. I guess I never

viewed being vegetarian as being deprived, I thought I had the better deal - not

having to eat dead things!! (That's how I looked at it growing up.)

I think the 'why' goes a long way. It's like any behavior. If you tell

someone they can't have

it or shouldn't do it, without explaining the benefits of such things,

they're less likely to do it.

Goes back to my managment days... employees were more likely to see things

my way

when I took the time to involve them and explain to them the reasons.
