Breaking News! Michigan Changes Law On Food Advice

In many states across this great nation it is illegal to give any dietary advice, to anyone, unless you are a licensed dietician or nutritionist. This means if you know a friend who shows all the signs of a wheat intolerance and you tell her so – illegal. This means if you know someone who has a child with ADHD and you tell them food coloring, MSG, high fructose corn syrup, wheat, whatever, is the cause and once you take those foods out of their diet the child will be normal – illegal.

Giving food advice in these states means you would be acting as a registered dietician or nutritionist without a license.

This law is not federally regulated but instead lies in the hands of each state. Probably the most nororious state is North Carolina. Click here to see where the state of NC sued a man for giving dietary advice on his blog after curing himself of  diabetes with real food.
