Blanket statements like that do a disservice to the uncorrupted
professionals in the field who work hard for the health of their
patients. There are many who are active in the political arena,
advocating for food safety, good nutritional practices in school lunch
programs, accurate labeling, etc.

Cindy can speak for herself on this topic. But I know something about
her political leanings, and a bit about the content she presented in the
courses she taught. She is most definitely not one of those corrupted
by corporate interests. She certainly tried to inculcate her students
with a healthy skepticism toward nutrition fads, quackery, and fast food
culture, and an awareness of the dangers of big money influences in the
field.
