Dustin Moore is a dietitian active in research, education, and public health communication who thinks it's time for RDNs to circle the wagons around agriculture. His favorite topics of discussion include food production, agriculture, public policy, and culture. He and his family are active in their community and church, always cooking or trying new foods.  He also wants to be Batman...LOL.

"I wish dietitians understood and held a little more reverence for the fact that a booming food supply is a good problem to have. We'll deal with the chronic illnesses associated with poor diet, AND circle the wagons to deflect unwarranted criticism towards our food suppliers - the farmers." says Dustin, who teaches at CSU Long Beach / UC Irvine. 

He encourages students and ALL dietitians to exercise a little more caution and refrain with how much we all empower politicians to shape that food supply through policy and law. "I think many problems associated with diet quality can be traced to the disconnect that exists between the public and agriculture; distrust of production methods, increased/unfair demand on food producers, greater leverage by policymakers against food producers, waste and distribution."

He provides great insight on the vacuum between RDNs and agriculture - and those who have filled it with misinformation. Learn more from Dustin at https://dustinmoore.substack.com/, on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/Publichealthdad, or be amused by his tweets at @theamericanrd.
