...Acoustical flops of the 1960s, like New York City's Lincoln Center and Los Angeles' Dorothy Chandler Pavilion, took some of the luster off the profession. Lincoln Center, Nagata says, "was an example of what happens when you leave acoustics up to academics. It's like going to a dietitian to cook you a great meal. Nutritionally, it may be perfect, but it'll probably lack something." For an engineering job, acoustical consulting requires exceptionally delicate people skills: designers must juggle the vision of the architect, the quirks of the orchestra and the whims of philanthropists and city officials...
...registered dietitian, I was happy to see an article about nutrition that gave sound advice. But I have two messages for our food industry: 1) many of the foods that our population should be eating--fruits, vegetables, fish, whole grains--are prohibitively expensive for the working class and the poor, and 2) too much money is spent on developing and marketing inexpensive foods with no nutritional value. Food manufacturers would do well to put fewer choices on our grocery store shelves; then perhaps Americans would slim down and be healthier. Nancy Dimond Easton...
...things began to change when a school nurse told the McGoeys about a program called MEND (mind, exercise, nutrition, diet), started by Paul Sacher, a dietitian at London's Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children.

...vegetable oils they demanded, albeit hydrogenated ones. For the eating public, however, the result was quite the opposite. That's because hydrogenated fats contain a kind of hydrogen bond called trans that is as bad as the hydrogen bond in saturated fats--maybe even worse, according to CNN dietitian Liz Weiss, an expert on family nutrition. While saturated fats raise ldl cholesterol, Weiss explains, "trans fats appear to both raise bad (LDL) cholesterol and lower the good (HDL) cholesterol." The FDA does not currently require vendors to label foods for trans-fatty-acid content, but the agency has new rules...
