Today was a crazy busy day! First I met with Ms. Karkare, a nutrition consultant and registered dietitian. Later, I had a tour of the Interfaith Food Shuttle building and an overview of what they do there. I met the team of interns, and even experienced a webinar of how the new Dietary Guidelines for Americans will impact Cooking Matters (one of Interfaith Food Shuttle’s programs).  Plus, I got this pretty sweet official-looking nametag above. Then, I interviewed the outpatient dietitian at Wakemed Cary, Ms. Kharod. Each interaction I had today gave me a different example of all the ways nutrition experts impact the world. Ms. Karkare works with her clients in a one-on-one setting, while Interfaith takes more of a community-centered focus around improving the diets of impoverished Americans in the Triangle. Ms. Kharod’s work is similar to Ms. Karkare’s, but in a more clinical setting. I look forward to experiencing and exploring many different aspects of this diverse field of study!
