A reader sent me this picture, taken during a coffee break at the large European nutrition conference in Leipzig.

Obviously even nutrition professionals are allowed to have sweets once in a while. But was there really nothing better to serve? Perhaps there are nutrition professionals who prefer something drastic: using their knowledge about healthy food in real life?

To me it feels like handing out cigarettes to participants at a lung cancer conference. Tasteless. It makes the whole arrangement seem clueless – and unfortunately it’s not the first time I see something like it.
