If we at ecoRDN had a vegan donut for every time some clown proclaimed, “tofu? yuck! tofu is gross!” we’d never need to buy another vegan donut, ever again. In fact, we would have enough vegan donuts to open our own vegan donut shop, and sail into the dairy-free sunset, handing out donuts like kittens hand out cute concussions. Wow! That’s quite a few vegan donuts, because kittens are cute, and the sad reality among fu-phobes and soya naysayers is grim and misinformed.
Not all tofu is created equal.
Back in NYC on a gorgeous fall-esque, big, puffy cloud, blue-sky day and thinking about the trip to Nashville this past weekend. Eco RDN hit the road super early Saturday morning for this year’s FNCE. For those of you that are not dietitians or culinary nerds F-N-C-E stands for Food Nutrition Conference and Expo. FNCE is the annual conference and expo of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. It is also the world’s largest annual meeting of food and nutrition professionals. Registered dietitians are required to maintain registration by completing continuing education credits (CPEUs), 75 in a five-year period, in order to keep themselves current and relevant in their field (how else can we call ourselves “the nutrition experts”). FNCE provides educational sessions, lectures, briefings and culinary demonstrations that provide a certain number of said CPEUs. This year’s event was in Nashville, Tennessee held at the Music City Center.
