One of my daughters wanted to study Nutrition & Health but decided against it when she saw the curriculum - it was mostly about formulating UPF for industry and setting up taste panels. Oh, and lab-produced meats and insect protein...

I can believe it. The food industry sponsors dietetics courses and they don't do it for charity.

I truly believe that most of the people who are most knowledgable about nutrition are those that have done all their own research.

It's embarrassing to admit this, but sometimes one gets better advice online… 😳
