Patients and clients can have strong opinions about food. Sometimes, your discussions with patients and clients can be difficult, particularly when it comes to where their food is coming from and how it's produced. Maybe, some discussions with your RDN peers or members of the media can be equally difficult.

In this thought-provoking webinar, Trace Sheehan, the writer and producer of the feature film Food Evolution and Chris Vogliano, MS, RDN, will examine some common points of contention when it comes to discussing food production and, in particular, GMOs. Trace will draw from his experiences while conceiving and making Food Evolution, while Chris will contribute his experience as an RDN who specializes in the study of sustainable food systems and food waste reduction.

Regardless of your position on GMOs, this lively and informative discussion will position RDNs to more effectively participate in discussions relating to food production and to provide understandable, credible guidance to their clients.

The live version of this webinar was presented on Thursday, September 27, 2018, from 2-3pm ET by Trace Sheehan and Chris Vogliano, MS, RDN. This recorded version is approved for 1 hour of continuing education credit. RDs should list code 175 for this activity type.
