I just want to say that the speaker had asked whether people get appropriate information from medical doctors and nurses. I would like to make people aware that the health care professionals who are most knowledgeable in nutrition are registered dieticians, not nurses or physicians, who get very little education with respect to nutrition. All health care teams should include a registered dietician, and yet very few first nations and Inuit communities have full-time registered dieticians available to help people understand things like food labels and the complex relationship between good health and nutrition.
So that should be actually one mandate to include, as in all health care teams in these communities, a registered dietician with the appropriate knowledge.
