Nutritionists are just modern day snake oil salemen and witch doctors.

Dieticians are legit and we consult them regularly where I've worked: everywhere from GP clinics to level 1 trauma wards.
I don't think nutritionists are accredited in any way where I work.
This is the difference. Anyone can call themselves a nutritionist, but a dietician is a registered title. Just like a social service worker is not the same as a social worker, which is a licensed professional.
Man, this is the reason why I'm learning languages...this is so fucked up in practise as your life might dangle from a string and mishap, but it's interesting our perception about legitime and non-legitime depending on the words.
I didn't even know social service worker was a thing just social worker. Do you know how it could affect someone's life? What the scammers do?
Right? I actually read the post and went, "WTF?! Nutrition is a vital aspect of health care!" and then read the first comment and went, "Ooooooooooh........ Yeah, that makes more sense."
