I have little regard for dieticians. When my wife had CHF they had her
go to a Dietician meeting with a handful of others in similar situation.

Dietician said do not eat sausage as it is bad for you. So, I asked,
"is it OK to eat ground pork?" Yes. OK to season it with oregano,
rosemary, pepper and a few other herbs? Yes, that is OK.

Don't drink milkshakes, bad for you. So I asked is milk OK? Sure that
is OK. Is a little ice cream OK? Yes, that is OK.

Hamburgers? No bad. Ground beef? Sure, lean is OK.

A couple of the others caught on but the professional dietician never
did.
