2 years into the pandemic and we're still getting headlines like this 🥴

Please don't drag the credential through the mud because you have some beliefs and want media attention. #RDchat

@HookomOnHealth @fiversdream the only superfoods are the foods that make u feel super when u eat them

[Amanda Hookom, RDN, CPT @HookomOnHealth]

This is just your regular reminder that "superfood" is just a marketing term and means absolutely nothing from a nutritional standpoint.

[Dr Chuks @theeatdisdoc]

On a regular basis, my team cares for much older people who have had a lifelong battle with eating disorders. It doesn't just affect younger people.

[Nutrition Doc @Leicnut]

Most options can often (not always) be given *with* oral nutrition.

I think our 2022 resolution should be to stop reflexively saying NPO at midnight when the guidelines state clear liquids are okay up until 2 hours prior to surgery.

Informal, non-peer-reviewed survey: Do you know anyone who has always worn masks, is fully vaxxed and has never had #COVID19 to?

[Alexis Conason @theantidietplan]

The CDC recommends keeping at least 6 feet from anyone talking about their diet.

[Nathan @NathanBrown2345]

Raise your hand if you believe the earth is round, vaccines are safe, climate change is real and you should skip New Years parties this year because of Omicron ✋

I want EVERYONE to follow you.

[Rosie Mensah @rosiemensah]

Food insecurity has long-lasting impacts. Even people who are no longer food insecure can still live with the behaviors they developed over time to cope with what they experienced.

[Oona Miller Hanson, MA, MA @OonaHanson]

PSA for parents, teachers, and coaches:

That food being labeled as "bad," "junk," or "unhealthy" might be one of the few safe foods for a child with an eating disorder or other medical condition.

NG feeding does not suppress appetite.. I repeat 📢 NG FEEDING DOES NOT SUPPRESS APPETITE. Please stop removing feeding tubes when nutritional intake is suboptimal. We need to make sure nutritional intake is optimal to aid with rehabilitation and recovery @ICUnutrition #SOA21

[Ashley DePriest, RDN, CNSC, FCCM @LifeWithoutDiet]

Good morning to everyone except those who hold tube feeds for residuals <500mL without other signs of intolerance or reason for concern!
