It's called Eat Right.
And the Eat Right conference was being sponsored by Coke and Diet Coke.
They had a massive thing at the front where they were handing out Diet Cokes.
And I went to my parents and I said, I can't do this.
I do not want to be educated under a program that is funded by big food as the antithesis of what I'm trying to do.
So smart.
And let's be very clear.
I have so many amazing, wonderful registered dietitian friends that have seen it.
They've gone through it.
Well, they're getting the talking points.
They're getting the talking points from big food.
They're literally fighting for big food and some of them don't even realize it.
And so I pulled myself, so I finished my prereqs and then I pulled myself out of that program and I decided to get my master's of science in nutrition and integrative health.
And I found an integrative holistic program that taught me all the science.
I got all the schooling that I would have gotten under the dietetics program, but it was also, it was in a lens of root cause integrative holistic medicine.
The billboard, yeah.
I know.
They are.
They're fooled by a lot of these.
And, you know, it is interesting because I've actually had to be gluten-free for 14 years now, but I avoid a lot of those products that you're talking about.
