Today, I found a interesting articleon the SundayPost newspaper that discusses the role(s) of Dietitian, Nutritionist, Food Scientist, and Food Technologist.
Dietitian
Advises patients/clients on the principles and the planning of diets and menus for prevention and management of diseases
Nutritionist
Promotes good nutrition and healthy eating habits to the general public in order to maintain health and prevent diseases (This is what I'm trying to do in this blog)
Food Scientist
Investigates the chemical, microbiological, physical and sensory nature of food, and apply his/her knowledge in the development, processing, distributing and storing of foodstuffs
Food Technologist
Works on existing and newly discovered ingredients and technologies to invent new recipes and concepts for foods
I hope that this will give a better picture for those who are interested to pursue a career related to human nutrition!
