Food and Nutrition Conference and Expo

I recently returned from Chicago, where I attended the annual American Dietetic Association's Food and Nutrition Conference and Expo (FNCE).  FNCE is the world's largest gathering of food and nutrition professionals.  What fun!

There were about 11,000 registered dietitians in attendance, along with many other policy makers, health-care providers, researchers and industry leaders. Also, more than 300 exhibitors from corporations, government and nonprofit agencies showcased new food products, professional services and nutrition education materials. 

I tried many new foods and beverages, indulged in some old favorites and learned a lot of exciting nutrition information, which I plan to share more about in the future.  Stay tuned.
