In a city celebrated for decadence and indulgence, New Orleans dietitians are making a difference. They're behind the work of Eat Fit-approved dishes on hundreds of restaurant menus, along with collaborations with festivals, markets and schools. NOLA RDNs have pioneered a therapeutic food pantry that provides innovative yet nourishing food choices to cancer patients and their families who are experiencing food insecurity.
In this session, New Orleans registered dietitians share their experiences and strategies in developing innovative culinary nutrition approaches to create relevant, successful and sustainable community programs.
