Africa needs nutritionists, but where are they? Why do so many nutrition and dietetic students end up doing jobs they did not train in? Why do so many nutritionists and dietitians stay jobless for many years? Yet others find or create their own jobs and go on to have successful, fulfilling careers. Nutrition quacks give the public wrong information, promising quick fixes to health problems as they convince people to buy into their products. Quacks laugh all the way to the bank. The African continent is gasping for nutritionists and dietitians. Nutritionists and dietitians are in great demand to deal with malnutrition, food insecurity, non-communicable diseases, sports nutrition, school-feeding programs, health education, wellness programs, advocacy, food industry, mass media and even national policy making. But they are conspicuously missing. Thousands of nutrition graduates are seeking formal employment, waiting for a salary. Yet the field is wide open for them to easily create their own jobs. Opportunities are many. World renowned Professor of human nutrition, discusses how nutritionists and dietitians can create their own well paid jobs. An inspiring and revealing podcast.
