I thought everyone here would be very concerned about this. Please make this call!

This Bill is especially relevent to you if you are interested in holistic or integrative nutrition or medicine. Please make this call! Information on the bill is below:

Download the text of the bill at:
http://www.njleg.state.nj.us/bills/BillView.asp

Take action now for your freedom to speak about nutrition.

Your role is simple: Dial the numbers below and say, "I'm calling to oppose Senate Bill 1941." This bill proposes that in New Jersey only Registered Dieticians will be allowed to speak with clients about nutrition.

Joseph Vitale: (732) 855-7441
Robert Singer: (732) 901-0702

The ADA has worked state-by-state to pass turf legislation that excludes everyone except registered dietitians from giving nutritional advice.
They've now moved into New Jersey.

The ADA's mission is to serve the public as "the most valued source" of good advice about food and nutrition. But did you know that this "valued" nutrition resource receives substantial funding from food corporations?

The ADA receives more than $3 million from Wendy's, McDonald's, PepsiCo, Taco Bell, Hershey's and more. On the ADA website you'll find tips on how to make a family dinner healthier-sponsored by Wendy's!

"American Diabetes Association peddling nutritional nonsense."
http://www.naturalnews.com/008164.html

The experts speak out against Bill 1941:

Dr. Neal Barnard, founder and president of Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine says: "If standardization of the nutrition practice is left in the hands of a single professional organization, the potential bias caused by financial arrangements raises important questions.It is a dangerous mistake to establish in law a monopoly on nutritional counseling."

Dr. Michael Jacobson, executive director of the Center for Science in the Public Interest says: "I'm very troubled by laws that prevent anyone-including professors of nutrition-from giving nutrition advice, unless they are registered dietitians."

If this bill passes, millions will be impacted. The bill claims that the health and welfare of the residents of New Jersey will be protected by identifying to the public those individuals who are qualified and legally authorized to practice dietetics/nutrition. The citizens of New Jersey certainly need protection-but not from Health Counselors.

The time to call is now! Pick up the phone to have your voice heard.

Your urgent call to action is simple:
1. Make the call now.
2. Forward this email to everyone you know.
3. Ask them to call and forward this email.

Profile Information

About Me:
im a medical student at new jersey medical school and currently starved for healthy food! Not particularly a raw foodist, but I love the lifestyle..very very vegetarian except the occasional bout with sushi and I really love grassfed butter(I( know that will not get that friendly of a reception here!), and I eat farm raised bacon 3-4 times a year
Relationship Status:
Married
Favorite Raw Food or Recipe?
the green spice juice at the pure food and wine restaurant in nyc
Interests (outside of Raw Food):
hmm...health food in general, holistic health counselling, nutrition as a science overall, i really love animals, I am madly in love with my husband. med school is boring me out of my mind because no matter how much you love science its hard to enjoy it when you get such a huge mouthful of it at once. Kind of like trying to swallow a pineapple...
I dont know if you could tell...I'm health food obsessed, and then secondarily, food obsessed.
Favorite Books or Authors:
currently, the omnivores dilemma, but I also love the secret garden, heidi was a childhood favorite, cradle to cradle is a really interesting take on environmentalism, siddhartha is one of my favorite books of all time

I avoid dinner dates, because that's never a good way to know someone on a first date. And besides, you never know whether they accepted to go to dinner because they liked you or because they didn't want to cook and they wanted to be treated out t...

You can always ask a produce dept. employee at Whole Foods to cut one open so you can try it before you waste your money. It's store policy to let people sample things:)
