Midwest Dairy continued its support of the Nebraska Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (NAND) Conference, held April 24–25 in Nebraska City, Nebraska. This annual event brought together registered dietitians, dietetic interns, and nutrition students from across the state to learn, connect, and explore emerging topics in nutrition and public health.
As part of the ongoing commitment to science-based nutrition education, Midwest Dairy sponsored the featured speaker, a nationally recognized dietitian, author, and consultant. The speaker delivered two impactful presentations, “Food is Medicine” and “Plant-Based Eating,” both of which emphasized evidence-based strategies for building sustainable, balanced diets that incorporate all food groups—dairy included.
Dairy’s role in a healthy diet was also celebrated during a snack break sponsored by Hiland Dairy, where attendees enjoyed nutrient-rich options such as chocolate milk and cottage cheese.
The conference provided a valuable platform to engage with health and wellness professionals, who influence dietary guidance and health practices in their communities. By fostering these connections, Midwest Dairy helps ensure that dairy remains positively represented in conversations about nutrition, wellness, and public health.
