First I had to stop laughing...do they really think we have a monopoly or

could ever have one? Makes me think more of my homemade movies - time to

make a new one I guess.:-) Thanks for sharing.

I was looking at Groupon this morning and noticed on Richmond, Virginia they

had a nutritionist who graduated from Virginia Tech (legit Dietetic program)

with no RD after her name working a Physician's group. LINK here to their

site <http://www.partnermd.com/> Just to let you know that Virginia does

NOT have any type of licensure law. Thoughts???
