May 22nd- Today we worked within our groups to finish our final assessment. It was great to get together and split up the final project to finalize it!


May 24th- Today our guest speaker is Karen Bakies, RD, LD. She is the Student Affairs Director with the American Dairy Association Mideast. We learned that it has been around since 1915 to be a leader in nutrition research, nutrition education, childhood nutrition and communication. They provide scientific-based nutrition info to the media, physicians, dietitians, nurses, educators, consumers and others. American Dairy Association is funded through dairy farmers. She covers the states of Ohio and West Virgina. There are 3,099 dairy farmers in Ohio. There nutrition messages want to be quality information. The communication should be accurate, science-based food and nutrition information. Overall, this was a great presentation. I learned so much about the Dairy Association!
