It's an awful organization. They push dietetics licensure preventing people from getting nutrition information from a provider of their choice, because the organization depends on dietitians paying yearly for the Registered Dietitian credential. You can't get a license without being an RD. It is the most useless form of government regulation, but thankfully they have lost a lot of states. Now you only need a license in about 14 states.

If you want to see something really hilarious, look up Pepin Tuma, their former government affairs guy. Total jerk. There are countless videos of him threatening and berating government committees over their skepticism of the license. He was finally fired a couple of years ago.
