IFEDD Founding Member Nancy Clark, MS, RD, CSSD became the first dietitian to speak on a Nobel Week Panel. Her recap of her experience in Stockholm:
“On Monday, Dec 9th, the Nobel Week Dialogue on the Future of Health included 16 participants who discussed what mental and physical health means, spoke on some factors that will impact health, including climate, antibiotic resistance, medical advancements, infectious diseases, and, of course, nutrition.
I spoke in two 20-minute-ish segments. The first session in the morning included a moderator
(the person who suggested me as a speaker) and the head of the UN World Food Relief Program, Carl Skau. We chatted about the contrast between food for life vs performance.
Starving refugees and famine victims have little food choice as compared to athletes who commonly live with abundance and many choices (vegan vs carnivore? fruits and veggies vs vitamin pills?).
The end result was the audience may have felt a bit uncomfortable with all of their abundance of food.”
