Hi Everyone,

I was just wondering if there are other MFP users who are wanting to become Dietitians? I am a student at Eastern Michigan University and thought it would be nice to find others who want to be or are in the field.

    I have a bachelor's in anthropology, and for the longest time thought I wanted my master's with an emphasis in anthro of food and nutrition. Now, however, I have decided to work towards another degree in dietetics. While, i still love anthropology and want to use my B.S., I think becoming an R.D, will open up career fields and allow me to work in schools. I can still use my knowledge of anthropology with the emphasis on food justice, causes for malnutrition (because most unhealthy eaters are malnourished, even those obese), and the politics surrounding food.
