  Urgent Hearing: Restrictive Dietary Licensing Legislation

Making Good Nutrition a Crime in Wisconsin AB440

AB440 Hearing

Wednesday Dec 9, 2009 10 AM

Location: 417 North (GAR Hall)

This is the Assembly Companion Bill to SB115. This is a bad bill. With Wisconsin’s $6.5 billion deficit the last thing we need is to shut down revenue sources in the state so Registered Dietitians can receive more money from the insurance industry.

Legal comments at SB115 hearing September 15, 2009:

“Someone who is an alternative care provider cannot practice nutrition care services. They could use the term nutritionists by itself but could not practice dietetic nutrition care services.”

Say bye bye to nutrient dense dietary advice and hello to the ADA (American Dietetic Association) processed foods protocols. This bill creates a nutrition and dietary monopoly for Registered Dietitians. They already have a monopoly in hospitals, schools and nursing homes.
