The Prospector
A note from the President: On behalf of the Board of Directors,
I would like to welcome you to the 2019-2020 Colorado Academy of
Nutrition and Dietetics year! Our board is looking strong this year
and has plans to positively impact dietetics in Colorado through
public policy, marketing, community engagement, and more.
The CAND has been pushing to “Build our Brand” as Colorado’s
nutrition experts over the past few years. What does this mean? As
Registered Dietitians and Dietetic Technicians, Registered, we have
been trained to effectively bring accurate and up to date nutrition
information to professional and public settings. The CAND board is
using its resources to strengthen your skills as nutrition
professionals so we can better market ourselves as nutrition
experts and build credibility to the public we serve.
The CAND will continue to “Build our Brand” moving into the
2019-2020 year. Keep an eye out for a survey from the CAND in
August. We would like to have as many CAND members complete the
survey as possible, as this survey is going to help guide our
efforts for the 2019-2020 year. There are over 1,200 CAND members
and we want to ensure that the Board of Directors are best serving
all of your needs.
Are you interested in getting involved? We are always looking
for support! The CAND board encourages you to participate at a
district level with the Northern Colorado Dietetic Association,
Denver Dietetic Association, Southern Colorado Dietetic
Association, or at the state level with the Colorado Academy of
Nutrition and Dietetics. For more information, please visit
http://www.eatrightcolorado.org/members/district-associations/ or
contact [email protected].
If you have any questions or comments, please reach out to me
directly at any time at [email protected].
All the best,
Thank you,
James Fazzio, MBA, RDN

On Tuesday May 7, 2019, from 6:00 -8:00 pm, members and guests
of NCDA met at The Platte River Fort in Greeley, for a Wine, Beef
& Cheese pairing that included an array of delicious
appetizers. The rustic but comfortable and modern fort is modeled
after Bent’s Fort, a famous trading post in southeast Colorado. The
Platte River Fort is clearly an event center, with a variety of
outdoor and indoor spaces for congregating & celebrating. (This
venue is hosting a “Resort Reveal” on May 31, 2019 from 2-10 pm
with food, cocktails and a hayride, among other activities- free to
the public.) [email protected] Our event was NCDA’s
final program of the year, and was
generously hosted by DairyMAX and the Colorado Beef
Council. Jenna Allen, MS, RDN of Dairy MAX welcomed us
and introduced us to her Dairy MAX associate Danielle
Butbul, MPH, RDN. A variety of evidence-based articles and
hand-outs were available to support the benefits of dairy
and beef products in promoting good health & preventing
chronic disease. Kate Schulz, RDN, LD, LMNT, the Nutrition
Consultant for the Colorado Beef Council, introduced Chef Barry
Strand, from the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (a
contractor to the Beef Checkoff).
We socialized while enjoying vegetables, fruits, antipasti &
cheese & crackers before the Chef’s presentation. Chef Barry
then
walked us through the different pairings of wine, beef and
cheese & how tastes compliment. We learned about terroir, and
global
wine growing regions. We tasted a spicy cheese roll,
Mediterranean style beef creations, tomato infused meatballs, salad
&
cheeses, while choosing (carefully) among the impressive white,
red and rose wines available. The dessert tasting featured a
complex Peanut Butter, chocolate chip cookie which had embedded
bits of beef jerky-- a chewy and pleasant umami surprise. We
left with recipes & other beef and dairy nutrition
resources.
Chef Barry is active in social media and would enjoy getting
photos and recipes of dishes that include beef and dairy. He is
triple
testing his recipes & he enjoys promoting nutritious beef to
consumers. Utilizing low fat dairy products & lean beef in
a
Mediterranean style diet is satisfying and enjoyable and
supports good health. The recipe for the awesome cookies is posted
for
your enjoyment (see next page).

Northern Colorado Dietetic
Association (continued) NCDA secretary, Dustin Lee, submitted a
photo (seen below) to the Journal of Academy of Nutrition and
Dietetics that was featured in the recent May 2019 publication at
the end of the article by Zellner et al. The image titled “Food in
the Raw” can be found on page 839 under "The Art of Dietetics”.
Dustin submitted this particular photo with the thought of being
different. Many of photos featured in nutrition and dietetics are
centered around fruits and vegetables, which is not surprising
given their incontestable health benefits and colorful appearance.
This photo is simple yet attractive, featuring mostly neutral
colors, the drop of lemon juice, and the color of the lemon peel
adding subtle pop to the photo.
