Dear Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics,

You currently operate under the domain eatright.org and you include this notion of eating “right” across your platform. Well, welcome to The Upside Down, eatwrong.org.

The concept of eating “right” frames food choices as binary, moral decisions. But nutrition is a science, not a religion. At best your branding is unhelpful and at worst it perpetuates diet culture and fans the flames of eating disorders. I know you think you’re helping, but come on, change your branding… you’re making us look bad.

-Matt Priven, Registered Dietitian Nutritionist and current member of the Academy
