Logical Fallacies in the Food and Nutrition Conversation: How to Spot Them & Defuse Them

/in /by

Recorded January 18, 2023

IAFNS is a Continuing Professional Education (CPE) provider with the Commission on Dietetic Registration (CDR). CDR Credentialed Practitioners will receive 1.5 Continuing Professional Education Units (CPEUs) for completion of this recorded webinar until January, 2026.

Description: Talking about food can get complicated. Discussions on nutrition can be even more complex. The way we think about food may be influenced by what we hear from family and friends, health care providers, and on the news and social media. With so many different sources to take in, it can be overwhelming and confusing to know what is fact and what is fiction. Thinking critically about food and nutrition is important. And recognizing logical fallacies related to food helps with identifying misinformation.

This webinar will feature Leah McGrath, RD, LDN (Buildup Dietitians) and Melanie Trecek-King (Thinking Is Power and Massasoit Community College).
