I usually love to have this on in the car when I’m driving (regardless of the subject matter - never too old to learn new things) but today I got SO PISSED listening to the Nutrition/Dietician show (which is always on on Friday from 12 noon to 2:00 p.m.)
A caller called in saying that she has diabetes and her registered dietician suggested she eat a high fat diet, including lots of butter and bacon. The caller said she wasn’t comfortable with that and wanted the radio dietician to weigh in. Well, she did, and apparently she’s an out-of-date idiot! She reacted strongly, said that couldn’t have been a “registered” dietician giving such horrible advice, and suggested the caller run quickly to find a different one. She asked her co-host if he’d ever heard of such silly advice and the co-host hadn’t, either.
I was just about back at the office after that caller so as soon as I came in I got online with Sirius Doctor Radio, found the dietician’s email address, and blasted her, advising she do some CURRENT research before bashing a colleagues suggestions. I doubt I’ll hear back from her, but maybe, just MAYBE, it will encourage her to do some reading?
Ggggrrrrrr… not sure why I got SO irate but I’m extra tired today so perhaps that’s it. Idiot. Apparently the caller had found herself a gem of a dietician and now she won’t be going back to him/her.
