Two-thirds of the U.S. population lives in cities, with many of these individuals never having visited a farm where their food is produced. Consumers are concerned about animal welfare, GMO, sustainability, antibiotics, pesticides, and hormones in food, but often lack the background in food production to understand how to make healthful food choices.

Food and farming expert Michele Payn’s work stems from Food Truths from Farm to Table, an evidence-based book that addresses food myths across nine sections of the grocery store. In this thought provoking and practical webinar, Michele Payn, CSP, teams up with Leah McGrath, RDN, LDN, to provide strategies that dietitians can use to assist clients in avoiding confusion in the grocery store. Michele takes you behind the scenes of today’s agriculture in the U.S. and Canada to unveil why food is raised the way it is and to bring clarity and common sense to the food conversation. Together, Michele and Leah provide you with guidance to assist clients in making food decisions based on their own social, ethical, environmental and health standards.

This webinar provides dietitians with food truths and leaves them feeling poised to empower others to simplify their shopping, eating and cooking.

The live version of this webinar was presented by Michele Payn, CSP, and Leah McGrath, RDN, LDN, on Tuesday, April 18, 2017, at 2 pm ET. This recorded version is approved for one hour of continuing education credit. RDs should list code 175 for this activity type.
