Today we had Karen Bakies, LD, RD from the American Diary Association Mideaset as our guest speaker. Her job title is Nutrition Affairs Director. The National Dairy Council is the leader in nutrition research, nutrition education, childhood nutrition and communication since 1915.  They provide timely, scientific-based nutrition information to the media, physicians, dietitians, nurses, educators, consumers, and others concerned about fostering a healthy lifestyle. Karen is funded by the dairy farmers themselves. They receive 15 cents for every 100 pounds of milk. This was a great presentation and I learned a lot from it!
