Re: [pronut-hiv] Nutrition conferences

Rachel you have a point. I used to complain about the same but those who are still doing that have hidden agenda. They want to research pour the sake of getting doctorate but practically what it is just like a balloon completely no effect on consumers.
  Is is just sad in the area of nutrition. Nowadays we have more autodidacts than professional Nutritionists. Anyway, the result on the ground is eloquent, malnutrition ( by deficiency as well as by excess) still growing due to lack of practicability of indigestible theories. 
  We are yet to see.

"most of these workshops attended by high powered people for International 
NGOs, UN and academic institutions - in other words donors or those doing 
research and publish - so recommendations made not practical and those 
working in the field do not even get to know them.
2ndly - most manuals are like textbooks and at times impossible to even 
translate any content into a native language."
