Welcome to the American Dietetic Association's Advocacy Home Page

Support for nutrition is not only good public policy, it is good politics. The 65,000 members of the American Dietetic Association urge consumers and lawmakers to learn about the positive role nutrition plays in healthy lifestyles.

Nutrition also plays an effective role in disease management and treatment. For both individuals and society, the benefits of eating right and exercising include improved qualities of life and lower health-care costs.

We urge to you use the resources on this page to ensure that your elected officials in Washington, DC know your views as both voters and nutritional and food professionals.
