Skip to comments.Presidential Poll: Gov Palin 74%, Huckabee 54%, Romney 52%, Jindal 19% & Ron Paul 9%
Posted on 06/28/2009 8:04:03 PM PDT by MaxCUA
In a Republican Party of Kansas Poll the results where not even close.
Thats Palin power
Glad to see that Rep. Paul is doing better this time.
Gomer Huckabee? Ron Paul? I thought this was a Republican poll?!
So Palin as President, Rommey as VP and RP as SOT.
Huck can stick to the radio.
Jindal would not qualify under the current constitution. His parents are from India. Must be US natural citizens. And he is a republican, if he were a democrat like 0 from Kenya, no one would care.
74% + 54% + 52% ? I'm not a trained mathmetologist, but something here doesn't seem right.
How did McCain do in straw polls last time?
Just askin'...
The State Run Media will rev up constant vitriol over the next few years. Gotta knock that number down.
Why would Jindal not qualify? I am not sure that is true.
*** not a trained mathmetologist,***
It's voodoo economics.
Must be due to a rounding error. /s
Those aren't percentages; they are the number of votes cast.
The correct percentages are Gov Palin 36%, Huckabee 26%, Romney 25%, Jindal 9% & Paul 4%. 36 + 26 + 25 + 9 + 4 = 100.
I believe he was born stateside.
I think Palin is going to get beaten up in the next 4 years. Here's my list from who wiki thinks will be running:
Top Candidates:
Bobby Jindal
Mitch Daniels
Personal Favorites:
Ron Paul
Gary E. Johnson
Haley Barbour
Tim Pawlenty
Potential VPs:
Jim DeMint
Eric Cantor
John Thune
Mike Pence
Charlie Crist
Rudy Giuliani
Mike Huckabee
Mitt Romney
George Pataki
Tim Pawlenty
Newt Gingrich too controversial
Dick Cheney too controversial
Sarah Palin not strong enough
Michael Steele not strong enough
Fred Thompson no energy
Dirk Kempthorne unknown
David Petraeus no political experience
Now HOW would Huckabee do THAT!
You put a lot of work into this didn't you?
Here's the Kansas Straw Poll from 2007:
Rudy Guiliani 31%
Fred Thompson 24%
Mike Huckabee 11%
John McCain 9%
Mitt Romney 8%
Ron Paul 7%
Sam Brownback 5%
Alan Keyes 2%
Duncan Hunter 2%
Tom Tancredo 1%
Oh, let's see . . . where should I begin? Raise taxes? Increase regulation?
Oh, let's see . . . where should I begin? Raise taxes? Increase regulation?
Wrong, He was born in America.
Thanks for ruining my night.
Remove the % signs.
Look on the bright side . . . he'd talk tough about abortion.
Ron Paul isn't running in 2012 and Gary Johnson is too libertarian, he supports drug legalization and cutting national defense.
And squirrels.
Sarah sweeps the competition...........interesting.
My understanding is at least one parent must be a US natural citizen. They both were of Indian nationalities.
If that is the case, jindals kids would qualify but not Jindal.
I am not a Constitutional Scholar, but I have stayed at a f Holiday Inn Express on a few occasions.
Hence the uproar over Obama and his qualifications, or lack of.
I posted it somewhere else a while ago and pasted it here. I got tired to seeing Romney's and Huckabee's name everywhere so I just wanted to double check that we actually have the chance of nominating some decent candidates next go round.
And prayer in schools . . . don't get me wrong, those issues are important (except maybe squirrels), but if Huckabee thinks they are he should run for Senate.
I think they want someone who can withstand the pressures of the established classes, and who isn't conditioned to believe the dire consequences that the establishment foists upon them when they arrive.
I think that Sarah Palin has shown that fortitude to stand up to the established wisdom, and is willing to make her own choices, and has confidence in her ability to react to the consequences that will arise from her decisions.
The fuss over Obama is that he wasn't born stateside and that his mother, born American, may have denounced her citizenship and any rights afforded to her children
>Glad to see that Rep. Paul is doing better this time.
Indeed. I'm of the opinion that a Ron Paul / Sarah Palin ticket would be pretty good. Paul's got some really good domestic policy, as does Palin; his failing is on foreign policy which I believe Palin would temper.
However his ideas/suggestion of employing letters of marque and such in the War on Terror was, IMO, pretty good... they could do well on Somali pirates too.
She has been accused of practically everything the Democrats could think of and come out smelling like a Rose.
It will be interesting to see what inuendo's, rumors, and lies they can come up with if she runs again.
It could be fun watching them digging out all the same crap and replaying it.
>So Palin as President, Rommey as VP and RP as SOT.
I'm not that big a fan of Romney, though Paul as Sec. of the Treasury could be good.
What I have read was that his father was a British Citizen and 0 gave up his US citizenship to live and attend an Islamic school.
My problem w/ Rep. Paul is his age. I think he will be in his mid-70s in 2012, so I wish we could find a much younger real conservative w/ the respect for the Constitution that he has.
Not a fan either. We can always go fish for a better VP.
I do think Paul would be a great Treasury Sec. Palin as president is good for me.
Gov. Palin Supports the War against the IslamOfascists.
Her son is in the Army in Iraq.
Also see post #30
L Ron Paul is against war period.
He believes our actions brought on 9/11
L Ron Paul's views are more in line with Code Pinkos and
other Left Wing loons
And that my friends is exactly why THE LEFT IS HYSTERICAL REGARDING Palin.
They already know she's a WINNER and that's why they are going to do everything possible to discredit her ...
We still have our Common Sense!!!!!!! Thanks Glenn Beck!!
I think that w/o a formal declaration of war by Congress, writing Letters of Marque & Reprisal is one of the few constitutional methods of dealing w/ that problem. Leave it to Rep. Paul to acrually adhere to the Constitution! How dare he!
Nice pic, but a little too early for two of them, I hope. Reagan looks great
Easy remedy. Have Jindal's birth certficate "disappear" in India.
We have a sitting POTUS who doesn;t have one either.
Wasn't Jindall, born in the USA? That there is a natural born citizen...I think.
Was ACORN doing the poll?

Court upholds consecutive terms in girl's death
PHOENIX - The Arizona Supreme Court has ruled that a Mesa woman must serve back-to-back sentences for killing her 10-month-old daughter.
Shawnte Shuree Jones was sentenced to life in prison with a possibility of release after 25 years for first-degree murder in Labraiya Huff's 2004 blunt-force-trauma death and to 17 years in prison for child abuse
A trial judge ordered Jones' prison terms to run consecutively under a sentencing law for dangerous crimes against children, but an appeals court ruled they must run concurrently. That ruling cited a law that says sentences must run concurrently when convictions stem from a single act.
The Supreme Court's ruling Wednesday says Jones' convictions stem from the same conduct but are different offenses. It also the law on dangerous crimes against children overrides the other law.

Kings beat Madibaz
Sean Hutchison – Port Elizabeth. A warm up 'game' was played between the Southern Kings and Nelson Mandela Bay University today.
The Kings went out to a 21-0 lead at half-time and ended up winning 28-12.
It was treated as a training game where a number of combinations were tried and a larger squad of players used. It divided into 4 x 20 minute sessions.
Southern Kings tries scored by Andries Strauss, Sergeal Peterson, Wimpie van der Walt and Cornel du Preez, with three conversions by George Whitehead and one by Wesley Dunlop.
NMMU tries scored by Brendon Olivier and Yamkela Ngam, with the conversion by Bradley Kretzmann.

En ek dink nie hulle gaan baie simpatie kry by die res van Sa nie. Loftus ken ook vir Puke Watson…Ek mis daai game vir geen geld nie!

Ohio task force wants more college degrees
BOWLING GREEN, Ohio (AP) — A task force that aims to increase the number of Ohioans with college degrees is convening for the first time.
The 31-member Complete College Ohio task force is led by Ohio Board of Regents Chancellor Jim Petro. The group is charged with finding ways to help a greater number of students plan for, pay for and complete their education.
The first meeting today is being hosted by Bowling Green State University.
The (Bowling Green) Sentinel-Tribune reports that Ohio's proportion of adults with bachelor's degrees in the workforce is in the bottom quarter of the states (38th) — typically 5 percentage points below the national average.
Only 26 percent of adults in Ohio hold a bachelor's degree, compared with the national average of 31 percent.
How could the percentage be so low? We're just coming out of the worst recession on record. I would think every parent would be pushing their kids to go to college or a trade school. The days of getting a high school diploma and getting a good job are over.
How about "The days of getting a good job are over" ?
Let's stop selling kids on the scam of college. With less than fifty percent of graduates getting career jobs after college, what kind of return on investment is there ?
I graduated YSU with a 3.2 gpa and a Liberal Arts Degree in 1993. That would have been useful had I immediately proceeded to graduate school THEN. Now, even a Master's degree won't produce the return on investment. Educate yourself, but do so cautiously avoiding the institutions that offer promise while ignoring statistics. They are self serving.
Skills for this age: (1) Learn to live on less while still trying to keep gratitude higher than expectations. (2) Learn to grow and preserve food and purify water. (3) Learn to forgive those who came before you who have squandered more wealth and opportunity than you will ever have access to, and left behind only their judgement of you.
Statistics say the better your education, the better your chane of bein employed and earning more money. Your experience will vary from mine but overall, the folks with a degree from college or a certificate from a trade school are going to do better than people with a diploma or no diploma.
Yes, education is expensive and you may not find a job in your field but that's why you have to be realistic about which degree or training to pursue.
The better educated our workforce is, the better chance good emplyers will locate here.
...and we may feast on the crumbs they leave for us, having abated their tax burdens, and left us their mess. Used up our bodies for their margins. Squandered our solidarity in the name of worker productivity. All the while privatizing profit and socializing costs. Labeling us "unpatriotic" if we suggest otherwise.
"Let your life be a friction against the machine."
Henry David Thoreau
The percentage in the Mahoning valley is probably half of the 26% statewide.
College is a good investment but you need to major in something that will produce a job when you get out. If you do well in accounting, engineering, healthcare trades like nursing, or the like you will find work. It may not be in Youngstown, but you will find it.
Majoring in art, english, management, pre-law or the like will get you a piece of paper, and that's about it.

-Feminist Review
"I picked up this book wondering what, if anything, even these formidable scholars could tell me about Elizabeth Cady Stanton that I hadn't already read. I put it down in awe—;with a new appreciation of Stanton's brilliance, originality, and complexity as the intellectual genius behind the first wave of feminism. Her 19th century vision resonates for everyone in 21st century America."
-Lynn Sherr,ABC News
"It is high time to respect Elizabeth Cady Stanton as a founding thinker and actor in the shaping of American society, politics, and ideas. This fascinating book enriches our understanding by giving us her own most eloquent words accompanied by the wise evaluations of some of our leading historians and writers."
-Linda K. Kerber,author of No Constitutional Right to Be Ladies: Women and the Obligations of Citizenship
"The selected documents give a taste of Stanton's often-contradictory ideas and successfully demonstrate how they evolved over time under the influence of contemporary intellectual movement. This work provides a solid basis for deeper investigations into Stanton's role as a nineteenth-century feminist thinker."

SNB Turns to Singapore in Effort to Diversify Currency Holdings
The Swiss central bank said it will open a branch in Singapore to help diversify its assets as it defends the franc's exchange-rate cap.
"A local presence will allow the SNB to extend its coverage of markets in Asia," the Zurich-based Swiss National Bank said on its website. The Singapore branch will help "round-the-clock operations on the foreign-exchange market, for example, to enforce the minimum exchange rate."
The SNB last week maintained a 15-month old currency ceiling at 1.20 francs per euro to protect the economy, saying it will uphold the measure "with the utmost determination." The SNB's foreign-currency reserves have surged almost 70 percent over the past year to 424.8 billion francs ($464 billion) at the end of November.
The central bank said on Oct. 31 that 48 percent of its currency assets were in euros, down from 60 percent the prior quarter. Its yen holdings made up 9 percent, compared with 8 percent previously, as other currencies, including Singapore dollars, accounted for 4 percent of reserves.
"To reduce concentration risk, the SNB aims for a broad diversification of its investments, and has turned to new markets as a result," including Asian currencies, and potentially stocks and bonds, it said.
The Singapore branch is scheduled to open in mid-2013, and will have seven staff members, the SNB said.

For the past two days, SIPA's penthouse has played host to a conference entitled "Mormonism and American Politics," and Bwog was there in the form of honorary Salt Lake Citizen Clava Brodsky. Lucky she attended, since this topic seems rather, well, topical! What follows are her notes from the field.
Birds probably have the best view of New York City, but for us humans, we'll have to make do with the 15th floor of SIPA. The Empire State Building shimmers in the distance, the campus lies far below like a stately forum, and the sky looks positively scrapable. What better venue to host the conference on the Mormon religion and its place in American life than this room in the heavens! The conference, hosted by CDTR (Center for the Study of Democracy, Tolerance and Religion) and IRCPL (Institute for Religion, Culture and Public Life), was entitled, "Mormonism and American Politics: A Conference."
Separation of church and state may be a fundamental tenant of American political life, but it doesn't stop us from closely associating Republican candidate Mitt Romney with his Mormon faith. (Indeed, the organizers of the event, Jana Riess and Randall Balmer, had originally planned the event to fall on the weekend before the New Hampshire primary.) Many of the speakers mentioned Romney and his faith, but this was not the main focus of the conference. Instead, the papers predominantly focused on how the Church as a whole fits into the larger American context.

You may have noticed several news vans near campus this morning. They are here to cover an event taking place in Lerner today, whose speakers include Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Senator Evan Bayh, Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, Senator Joe Lieberman, columnist David Brooks, and MSNBC's "Morning Joe" co-hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski. Over 1,000 people are expected to be in attendance.
The event is the official launch of No Labels, a nonprofit organization dedicated to nonpartisanship. In their own words, "to creating a new voice that encourages politicians to lay aside the 'labels' of party politics and address problems on practical common ground. The idea is to create a voice from citizens all over the country—Republicans, Democrats, and independents—who want to break through the extreme polarization of Washington and bring a less partisan, less ideological, more pragmatic approach to the table." You can watch the launch live online, and read the full information about the event here.

NYTimes reports a House ethics panel has found Democratic Representative Charles Rangel guilty of 11 out of the 13 alleged ethics violations. "I am not being treated fairly," the Morningside Heights and Harlem representative told the ethics committee yesterday before he walked out of his hearing. The committee ruled Rangel had violated House rules for improper fundraising and failing to disclose more than half a million dollars in assets. The Daily News reports the Congressman boycotted his own hearing and wasn't even present for the final ruling. The full House committee will now debate the verdict.

On April 8, 1974, Aaron sent a pitch off Los Angeles' Al Downing into the home bullpen at Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium, nicknamed "The Launching Pad." More than 53,000 fans were in attendance as Aaron circled the bases as baseball's new home run king. 1|10 Otto Greule Jr./Getty Images 1992 Otis Nixon "The Catch" Atlanta's version of "The Catch" occurred on July 25, 1992 at Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium as the Braves took on the Pittsburgh Pirates. The Braves held a 1-0 lead in the top of the ninth inning as Andy Van Slyke walked to the plate with the tying run on first base. Slyke blasted the potential game-winning homer to deep right-center field. Nixon gave chase, and then leaped into the air, using the outfield wall for a boost, and caught the long drive leaning while over the fence. The Catch saved the game for Atlanta. 2|10 John Iacono/SI 1995 World Series The Braves closed out the 1995 World Series with a 1-0 win in Game 6 at Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium behind eight innings of one-hit ball from Tom Glavine. The title was the Braves' first since the franchise moved to Atlanta, and a relief for a team that won division titles in 1991, 1992 and 1993 and league pennants in '91 and `92. As NBC's play-by-play man Bob Costas put it, "the team of the '90s has its World Championship!" 3|10 Al Tielemans/SI 1996 Olympics Atlanta played host to the 1996 Summer Olympics, unofficially known as the "Centennial Olympics." Athletes from 197 nations competed in 271 events in over 26 different sports from July 19 to August 4. The Games were highlighted by the heroics of American gymnast Kerri Strug and the USA women's soccer team, but also marred by the Centennial Olympic Park bombing on July 27. 4|10 Mark Cowan/Icon SMI 2000 Super Bowl XXXIV The first half of Super Bowl XXXIV was a defensive struggle, surprising for two teams with great quarterbacks -- Kurt Warner of the Rams and Steve McNair of the Titans. Facing a 9-0 deficit to start the second half, the Titans came back and eventually tied the game at 16 with 2:12 remaining in the fourth quarter. But Warner found Isaac Bruce open deep for a touchdown, giving Tennessee one last drive, trailing by seven. The Titans marched to the St. Louis 10-yard line, but on the last play of the game, Rams' linebacker Mike Jones stopped Titan's wideout Kevin Dyson one yard short of the end zone, preventing the game-tying score and giving the Rams their lone Super Bowl title. 5|10 AP 2001 Michael Vick's Debut On Sept. 23, 2001, Michael Vick made his home debut for the Atlanta Falcons against the Carolina Panthers. The No. 1 pick in the 2001 NFL Draft, Vick made an immediate impression with the fans in Atlanta, scoring his first NFL touchdown on a 2-yard run in the fourth quarter and helping the Falcons beat the Panthers. 6|10 Jamie Squire/Getty Images 2003 NBA All-Star game Fans packed Philips Arena in downtown Atlanta for what became the last All-Star game of Michael Jordan's career. And when Jordan hit a vintage fadeaway jumper to give the East a two-point lead in the waning seconds of overtime, it seemed there would be a storybook ending. But Kobe Bryant drew a foul and sent the game into a second overtime before the West's Kevin Garnett took over, leading the Western Conference to a 155-145 lead. Garnett finished with 37 points and was named MVP in the only NBA All-Star game to go into double overtime. 7|10 Streeter Lecka/Getty Images 2006 Chick fil a Bowl When the Hokies and Bulldogs met in Atlanta for the Chick-fil-A Bowl in 2006, more than 75,400 fans were in attendance, making it the largest crowd ever to attend an event at the Georgia Dome. Virginia Tech dashed to a 21-3 lead in the first half before the Bulldogs fought all the way back against Tech's No. 1-ranked defense to take a 31-24 lead late in the game. The Hokies' Hail Mary attempt fell short, completing Georgia's epic comeback. 8|10 Bob Rosato/SI 2007 NCAA Tournament Florida and Ohio State met in the NCAA Tournament final in 2007 at the Georgia Dome, pitting the defending champion Gators against man-child Greg Oden's Buckeyes. Oden, the eventual top pick in the NBA Draft that year, scored 25 points and grabbed 12 rebounds, but Florida won 84-75 thanks to the outstanding play of its starting five -- the same five that had won it all the previous season. 9|10 Bill Frakes/SI 2008 SEC Championship Game Billed as a "play-in" game for the BCS National Championship, the SEC Championship in Atlanta was one of the most anticipated games of the 2008 college football season. No.1 Alabama came in with an undefeated record, while the No. 2 Gators had just one loss on their schedule. The Crimson Tide held a three-point lead heading into the fourth quarter, but the Gators came out on top thanks to the extraordinary play of quarterback Tim Tebow, who threw for 216 yards and three touchdowns. Florida went on to win its second national championship in three years.

Which sex is the worst about washing up? Why is it so important? We've got the dirty truth on how and when to wash your hands.
How to Detox Your House
The Biggest Problems continued...
If you have a humidifier and dehumidifier, clean them as well. GHRI gurus suggest rinsing and scrubbing a humidifier's water tank once a week or more. For a dehumidifier, they recommend that you dust the grilles or louvers with a vacuum's soft brush attachment; then scrub the inside of the water container with a sponge and mild detergent and clean the filter. Check the owner's manual for coil-cleaning instructions.
Vacuum upholstery: Don't forget the backs of couches and chairs, where there's lots of hidden dust, dander, and maybe even mold. If your throw pillows are machine-washable (check the tags to find out), do a load; otherwise, give them a spin in the dryer on the no-heat, air-only cycle to "dust" them.
Vacuum mattresses, flip, and vacuum again. If there's a musty smell, wipe surfaces with a solution of one cup rubbing alcohol and one cup warm water. Wipe again with water only and let the bed dry.
Let the Pros Handle:
Lead. Supertoxic, this element can damage the brain and nervous system, and it is particularly harmful to young kids. If your home was built before 1978 (the year lead paint was banned), have the paint tested.
And if your home dates from before 1988, have the water tested as well, since plumbing installed earlier than that may contain lead. Call the National Lead Information Center at 800-424-5323 to find out more.
Radon. This odorless, colorless, tasteless gas is emitted by decayed rocks and soil, and can enter homes through small openings, such as cracks in the basement floor. Frightening find: It's the second leading cause of lung cancer in the country, and the EPA estimates that one in 15 U.S. homes contain a high level of the gas. If you haven't already, get your home tested (visit epa.gov/radon/radontest.html).

ADA to Members: Spy on Private Citizens to Stifle CompetitionActivism
The American Dietetic Association, also known as the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, is feeling extremely threatened these days and apparently has for quite some time.
With it's nutritional advice increasingly being ignored and even laughed at by a public that is waking up to the fact that its recommendations run completely contrary to the diets of healthy, disease free Traditional Cultures and hence will not help them lose weight, control blood sugar, and prevent cancer and heart disease, the ADA is resorting to illegal black hat tactics to stifle the competition.
The first shot across the bow resulted in the attempted muzzling of blogger Steve Cooksey by the North Carolina Board of Dietetics/Nutrition. Board censors issued a list of demands to Cooksey in a nineteen page, manifesto style letter which included a markup of his own blog in handwritten red pen like a high school term paper. He was told he must comply with the Board's demands or else face up to a month and a half in prison.
Prison – for blogging? America, Land of the
Free Muzzled and Home of the Brave Fearful?
Now, leaked documents by outraged members of the American Dietetic Association itself have blown the lid off the nationwide attempt by the ADA to corner the market in health and nutritional advice.
In an article written by Michael Ellsberg of Forbes magazine earlier this week, Ellsberg quotes from these leaked documents which show without a shadow of a doubt that the ADA:
"Openly discusses creating and using state boards of dietetics/nutrition (including in NC and in every other state in the union) for the express purpose of limiting market competition for its Registered Dietitian members."
"Openly discusses a nation-wide plan of surveilling and reporting private citizens, and particularly all competitors on the market for nutrition counseling, for "harming the public" by providing nutrition information/advice/counseling without a license–through exactly the same means by which Cooksey was reported to the NC Board. Again, for the explicit purpose of limiting marketplace competition."
The smoking gun document leaked by the ADAs own members is published on the website of the Alliance for Natural Health, an organization highly critical of the ADA.
In essence, this document discusses, complete with color coded charts, how the ADA can work across all 50 states in order to support the creation of licensure laws and dietetics boards similar to that of North Carolina in order to limit competition and create an ADA monopoly on nutritional advice.
Spy for the ADA and Win a Free Conference Registration!
A second internal ADA document leaked by a disgusted member described tactics for spying on those perceived by the ADA as competitors in the field of nutritional counseling, who are arrogantly referred to as "uneducated wannabees".
There is even a "Documentation of Harm Contest" (page 2) contained in the brochure for the Michigan Dietetic Association's 2006 Conference in which attendees are told that they can win a free conference registration if they turn in the most information about unlicensed people who provide nutritional advice to the public. This information would be used by the State Board of Dietetics and Nutrition to potentially infringe upon these people's right to free speech a la Steve Cooksey.
The actual Documentation of Harm Form can be downloaded and viewed from the Forbes magazine website.
Milton Friedman, author of Free to Choose and economist extraordinaire, once wrote that the public rarely if ever exhorts legislative pressure to license an occupation as a result of harm that has been done.
Au contraire. Friedman notes that the forces for licensure nearly always come from members of the occupation itself seeking to establish monopolistic control.
These leaked documents of the American Dietetic Association illustrate the perfect example of exactly that to which Mr. Friedman referred.

nice post. neat little video
In general, if someone claims to be an RD I think they are to be devoutly ignored. They are sure to believe that LOW FAT is good. Each time a news article comes out saying that studies show that Atkins dieters lose more weight, keep it off, and have better lab reports, the reporter interviews an RD who says "yes, but WHOLE GRAINS……..blah blah blah." I.E., "Don't confuse me with facts."

I love your blog and just went over to Diabetic Warrior and signed up for daily emails. I have been on a paleo style diet for 2 weeks and the results have been amazing! Weight is coming off and the highest my blood sugar has been was 157 – I was always in the high 200s with the ADA diet. I have been a diabetic for over 20 years and have finally "wised up" with help from people like you. Thanks so much!!
I am an RD and I LOATHE the ADA. I have not been a member in so long I still call it the ADA. It has actually been renamed the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (AND).
I have to be licensed in my state. From what I understand, the licensing means that non licensed nutrition counselors can not call themselves a "Dietitian". I could be wrong but that is how I understand it. Also, it may be different in his state. It is my understanding that anyone can give nutrition advice (and charge for it) but they just can not do it as a "Dietitian" unless they are licensed. My guess is, they thought they could bully this guy and it looks like they thought wrong!
Great article, Sarah. Bravo. Keep up the good work. As always… follow the money!
Oh, so this is what happens when corporate control of our govt is given to big business ( in this case the industrial food businesses ).
Someone has to eat all that uber – processed ( mostly corn, soy, HFCS and franken fats ) crap.
How else is the bottom line going to stay in the black?
It's not a problem that is defined by "big business" or "big government."
Too much power concentrated in the hands of too few people always results in the individual being crushed. It's a basic pattern of human society. Big business in a capitalist society is not interested in individual freedoms, it is only interested in the bottom line profit. And big government in a more regulated society is not interested in helping the individual citizen, it is only interested in expanding control.
The ADA is not part of the industrial food business as far as I can tell, but they are simply following the same pattern that power seeking groups have always followed.
Medieval guilds had an intricate system of apprenticeships and mastery that wielded tremendous political influence within their community. They used that influence to pass laws to make it illegal to sell or manufacture unless you were part of their guild. Likewise for the modern labor union, and so on for the modern corporate entity. When they can, they will purchase sufficient influence to shut any new doors of competition.
So the fix isn't to focus on "big business" as too many people only have one answer for "big business" and that's more government. Which, ironically in light of your post, is exactly what the ADA is doing. They are the exact, modern equivalent of the medieval guild. They are protecting their own interests at the expense of the individual and the public in general, and they're doing it through an expanded government role in our daily lives i.e. controlling our speech.
I agree in part.
The ADA is being handed down marching orders which comes from the govt. A govt bought / sold / operated by big business and special interests. Their ' concern ' for the individual, as you posted, is only to crush them. Their crushing of said individuals results in protecting and bettering their own interests and not the people.
I do not necessarily advocate for more govt regs, only that the govt do what it is suppose to do. That is to protect its populace. It cannot do that when it is run by the private sector. The solution is to get private sector influence out of our govt.
This post is very unsettling to me. I am a nutrition/dietetics student. I am getting this degree only so that I have the credential – I have zero interest in practicing healthcare in the way the AND wants us to. I'm wondering what my options are if I want to do a holistic-type program after I graduate with this BS degree. Will I be able to do anything without the RD credential? I loath the idea of having to pay for and endure a CADE-accredited nine-month internship where they will continue their brainwashing and indoctrination that they've employed every step of the way in my education. But if I don't do the internship and become an RD, I don't want the "officials" breathing down my neck and not allowing me to offer my services for a fee. If anyone has career advice for me it would be appreciated!
Get through the internship and get the RD. Pick a short one. You are going to have a much easier time with the RD. There are more and more of us within the AND that don't agree with its actions. There are many subsets, listservs, and groups that you can become involved with – you don't have to join AND. In fact more and more of my RD colleagues are not joining.
Hats off to you, Nicole. Way to see the value in a hard earned certification yet being willing to stand your ground when the politics get in the way of a good thing. My best to you!
I too have my RD and do not agree with all the AND is doing. It is important to note that many of the natural health care "credentials" out there lack true training and regulation. Please be careful in choosing someone who will provide diet and lifestyle advice as it can be harmful if they do not really know what they are talking about (this includes others who practice nutrition counseling as well as RDs). RDs have a great wealth of education behind them that can be used for positive change. The amount of background and foundation education (i.e. a bachelor's degree) is something that is lacking in many of the other "credentials". All that to say, I am not an RD who personally adheres to nor advises others to follow the AND recommendations. In an ideal world, the entire healthcare community would come together to merge these two fields of thought.
Megan, the situation varies from state to state. I recommend reading the comments on the subject from Diane Miller, posted above, and following and/or joining her health freedom organization to learn what's going on nationwide and what you can do.

Thank you for the post as this hits close to home, I have someone close to me who suffers from type 1 diabetes and I can't even begin to tell you the struggle it has been.All the publications and information regarding diabetes has been mediocre and mostly useless and I always had suspicions that they are not being honest. I have yet to see a dietitian I can agree with in fact I laugh at their suggestions to put it mildly.I want to reach over and tear up the magazines in the checkout lane at the grocery stores that feature diabetic recipes, what's on the front page? a huge slice of cake.Those who participate in misleading the poor suffering people should automatically receive the worst case of type 1 diabetes so they can eat their cake with frosting.

The bottom line is, there is a right to free speech. If I want to blog about how a diet of nothing but chocolate is great for you, that's my right.
Thanks for this interesting and disturbing post. It's clear we have to be vigilant in protecting our rights, and being well informed is the first step.
Umm, you seem to have Friedman's point correct, but maybe it's your use of "au contraire" which of course means "to the contrary" or something to that effect.
Friedman was of course saying that history has shown that rarely, if ever, does a genuine grass roots movement rise up and say "Give us legislation to save us from this group of people." And you correctly point out that this is exactly what is happening now.
For those not usually interested in economics in general, this is an age old problem that goes all the way back to ancient guilds, modern trade agreements, tariffs, etc. What Friedman was saying is that whenever someone is suggesting legislation to protect us, the public, you need to look a little closer and see who stands to profit.
The Cato Institute is a good place to start for those that are interested in learning more about this kind of stuff, and no, it's not as dry as it sounds. Anyone drink raw milk, or wish they had more access to raw milk? Look into who's keeping you from such a basic right in your state. It will be the association of dairy men who have already invested millions in their operations and don't want the competition from raw milk dairies and has nothing to do with health at all.
All I can say is, "Amen" to that. Well said. I ove Friedman. Wish he were still alive. He was a VERY wise man.

Better no regulations than bad regulations?
Do you know how many regulations are just ignored? Do you think the fracking and the poisoned GMOs are going to go away when you let the market take care of everything? It's not all comsumer driven, you know……

Disgraceful!! Never ceases to amaze me the tactics these agencies will resort to. Not in the interest of OUR health, but in the interest of the health of their bottom line and the bottom line of the food industry.
I, as a free individual, will pay someone for their advice and their "coaching", and I would kindly ask you to let me be,
do not use the threat
of the state
force and violence
to crush your competition.
If you as a licensee have information that I find valuable, I also will be happy to pay you for your advice and coaching, but please
do not use
the threat of State force and violence to limit your competition.

Amen! I agree with you Sissaly. I'm smart enough to make my own diet and healthcare services, I know my body better than any government or regulatory agency – it's similar to how insurances won't pay for alternative care that did more for me in 3 months than 3 years of traditional medicine did. It's not about helping anyone but thugs trying to protect their golden goose.
Using the logic of the ADA, consumers could report a Registered Dietician of the ADA or the ADA itself for causing harm to the public. For instance, there was a post in March about a cardiologist who used to tell patients to eat low-fat if they had heart disease. Now he regrets doing that as a low-fat diet can do more harm than good to those patients. (http://www.thehealthyhomeeconomist.com/cardiologist-lowfat-diet-scientifically-and-morally-indefensible/) The same could be true for the teachings and advice of the ADA and it's members for some members of the public. (Not that I would suggest starting a battle like that… but logically speaking…)
I have a large exstended family & we have Noted the same medications are given in a broad spectram across the board for Diabetis…during the first 365 days they discourage you from nutritionally adjusting & just tell you to take your pill & get used to it….during the next year they Double your meds and by the third year you have to take colesterol medication….after I reaching 365 lbs I chose to have Gastric Pypass. Several of My family memebers had already gone through the surgury. It was a Double edged sword for me. First it showed me how over medicated I was; I had Neuropathy from my toes to my face. They never asked if I had a Genetic Iron defincancy & now I struggle to keep my Iron Up. I began to Have a Hystomine responce to everything. and the List goes on and On…..after 5 years I still am 60lbs overweight but I am much healthier because I refused further treatment. Unfortunatly I was dianoised with 1 precancerous rectol Polyp & have surgury this week…its genetic of coure…..But I Noted my new local doctor quickly asked for My Past Records & I am not willing to let them treat me any longer based on my past history….luckily I learned my Old Doctors office closed, So I can tell her I dont have those records and they can start a NEW base line of information………………………….thanks for always Excelling at the information you share…It has helped me to discern for myself what advise to follow!!!
I work in a regulated industry, as do many. To see some one who is unlicensed "charging" for a service that requires a license is where the problem falls.
I agree that he should be allowed to share his knowledge openly and freely, but not for a fee.
No I am not in the medical industry-but I do continue education and pay to carry a state license for the right to practice a service.
Although bloggers can make money blogging, they do not charge a fee from their readers, so not sure how your comment relates to this story.
She is likely referring to Steve Cooksey, who had a service on his site where he would give personal advice to people for a fee. I have to agree that that's probably crossing the line.
Thank you Dan!
I think you are the only one who really saw where I was going in my comment.
The problem is when these groups want to literally outlaw other types of practitioners and make theirs the only one available to people. We must be able to choose the approach that we believe best fits our needs. If I want to hire a registered dietician, fine, but I should also be able to hire someone with a more holistic approach. It should be my choice, and legislatures shouldn't bow to the pressures from these groups who want to create a monopoly for themselves that excludes and essentially outlaws everyone else.
Yes, but it's been happening to someone who offers medical advice without a license too. Many, MANY people who have discovered cures for various illnesses (including cancer) have been swiftly stricken down by the authorities (EVEN IF WHAT THEY DO WORKS) for practicing without a license. This seems to be the same sort of case, in that he is offering a counselling/nutrition service for a fee, while unlicensed.
If he had blogged his advice without actually charging a fee to individual people (or even just sold a book containing his advice) I doubt they would have been able to hold anything against him (as there are a zillion books out there dispensing nutritional advice written by people with no formal qualifications, and all espousing different philosophies).
However, I agree there is a huge problem when there is a monopoly driven by a particular association, and no one who has a differing viewpoint or other advice, can actually GET a license to practice unless they go against their own beliefs and qualify for a degree or qualification that they don't actually believe in (for example undertaking a nutrition course where they are assessed with how well they understand nutrition principles that espouse eating cereals and grains and limiting saturated fats).
There should be alternative licenses and qualifications that would enable someone who doesn't practice conventional wisdom to be able to practice as a nutrition counsellor!
I appreciate your response. I am in my last quarter of finishing school to be a Certified Health Counselor. Under these quidelines I would not be able to practice, even though I will be registered with the American Association of Drugless Practicioners. This is absoulutely rediculous! My neighbor just told me about the advice she was given by her doctor when he diagnosed her with diverticulitis. I think my teenagers could have given her better nutritional advice…but they are the "safe" ones to go to??
The point is, we should all have the right to get "advice" from anyone we want, whether they are licensed or unlicensed. I have a right to pay for that advice with my own money. It is not the licensed person's business who I choose to get my advice from.
Carol, and commenters asking about this situation, here are some comments received via email from Diane Miller, Director of Law and Public Policy for National Health Freedom Action, which can help provide clarification.
"The writer seems to think that people cannot share knowledge for a fee. The writer seems to think that licensure is the gatekeeper of freedom of speech. Licensure is a government police power function and only dangerous occupational activity can be licensed. Government can only restrict occupations that cause an imminent risk of harm to the public. A number of occupations have tried to convince government officials that their occupation is dangerous if practiced by people that do not go to their schools. And for a number of years government officials were convinced that they should ban the practice of some professions by people that did not have a license. However, research was completed by many including the Kato Institute and licensing laws were challenged and some repealed, and then many states put laws into effect that stated the constitutional threshold that governments could not license a profession and restrict others to practice that occupation unless they were doing dangerous things. Now many states are passing safe harbor laws that protect the rights of consumers to access unlicensed persons and to protect the rights of all occupations to practice, as long as they avoid prohibited conduct that the state deems dangerous such as puncturing the skin, surgery, or giving out prescription drugs or controlled substances and a list of other things, and as long as they tell people what they are doing, who they are their background, and the fact the they do not have a state endorsed licensed to practice a health care profession. Many people hold many forms of knowledge and freedom of speech is the corner stone of our dreams for freedom of expression. Charging a fee for imparting knowledge is commonplace in our society. Recently an occupational audit of the licensing Boards of Michigan recommended a complete repeal of the dietitian licensing laws because that occupation does not pose a significant risk of harm to the public and does not warrant the state's administrative activity. I hope this is helpful. Also in Nevada we supported the freedom of speech clause on the dietitian bill that passed last year that states:
(d) A person who furnishes nutrition information, provides
recommendations or advice concerning nutrition, or markets food,
food materials or dietary supplements and provides nutrition
information, recommendations or advice related to that marketing,
if the person does not represent that he or she is a licensed
dietitian or registered dietitian. While performing acts described in
this paragraph, a person shall be deemed not to be engaged in the
practice of dietetics or the providing of nutrition services.

Great article and video Sarah!! Definitely going to share this on my site. It never ceases to amaze me at the corruption of these vile organizations and the lengths they will go to that keep America fat and sick while supporting food conglomerates and pharmaceutical companies. They should be shot.
This unbridled turf protection, at the expense of jobs, of freedom to practice natural health, and freedom to choose natural health practitioners, needs to STOP. People need to speak out against the rising tide of these absurd legislative tactics that seek to create restrictive and burdensome laws in all states. Contact your state-level and national-level senators and representatives and urge them to oppose such legislation.
The processed food conglomerates fund the ADA/AND. The mainstream food and medical complex directly benefits when everyone eats their processed foods and then gets sick as a result and are prescribed their medications and therapies. It has nothing to do with promoting good health, with protecting the public, or serving the public — it has everything to do with limiting competition and building monopolistic profits.
The Forbes article Sarah linked is a MUST READ. If you care about your right to work with a nutrition coach of your choosing, and if you believe in freedom of speech, be sure to read the Forbes article. Then contact your legislators, because these people are coming to your state next, if they haven't already been working quietly behind the scenes.
Also, watch this short video about licensing laws:
Hi Sarah!
I would be so grateful if you would consider writing a post on baby/toddler excema! My son has a bad case of eczema. He is 14 months old. He has it on his knees, ankles, wrist, fingers and back.
We are giving him the bone broth formula from Nourishing Traditions, vegtables, Good meats, goat's milk, Green Pastures Fermented Cod Liver Oil, and strong pro- biotics.
I really want to be doing the right thing and my husband and I greatly desire to see our son healed. We are willing to do whatever it takes!!!
DO you have any other recommendations for us or any websites we can go to for help?
Thank you for your time,
Sarah, The Healthy Home Economist
Hi Tara, I would suggest looking into the GAPS Diet as eczema is an autoimmune condition. If you would like a practicioner to guide you, I would advise contacting Kim Shuette at biodynamicwellness.com
Tara, the GAPS diet was what healed my infant daughter and toddler of terrible eczema. It is very hard to do at times, but well worth the effort in the end!

The Mediterranean Acacia-Argania dry woodlands and succulent thickets is a Mediterranean forests, woodlands, and scrub ecoregion that occupies 1,000,000 km2 (390,000 sq mi) in Morocco, northwestern Western Sahara, and the eastern Canary Islands (Lanzarote, Fuerteventura, and associated islets). It has either a Mediterranean climate or a Semi-arid climate or even an arid climate given that mean annual rainfall is below 500 millimetres (20 in) and falls as low as 50 millimetres (2.0 in) in the driest Algerian areas of the ecoregion. Temperatures average 18 to 20 °C (64 to 68 °F).[1]
Forests of Argania spinosa accompanied by Acacias, and succulent shrubland dominated by Euphorbias, are the chief plant communities in the ecoregion.
The Mediterranean Acacia-Argania dry woodlands and succulent thickets ecoregion is bounded on the north by the Mediterranean woodlands and forests, on the east by the North Saharan steppe and woodlands, on the south by the Atlantic coastal desert, and on the west by the Atlantic Ocean.

I didn't look at the presentation but you can't evaluate a business based on what is perhaps a bad slide in a presentation. CEO's mis-speak, they rely on subordinates who don't have the big picture to prepare presentations and they can't think of every possible way of interpreting how a comment should be interpreted.
Yeah, it's not like one would expect the CEO to know that 90M domestic households is basically impossible.
A CEO doesn't need to get all the details right but he (or she) absolutely has to get the big picture right.
