Today our speaker is Karen Bakies, RD, LD. She is the Nutrition Affairs Director for the American Dairy Association Mideast. The National Dairy Council strives to do the following:
"Provide timely, scientific-based nutrition information to the media, physicians, dietitians, nurses, educators, consumers, and others concerned about fostering a healthy lifesyle."
