Dietitians are a new and immature profession in China, but in the United States, dietitians have a history of 100 years. In World War I, the world's first nutritionist was born in the war. Over the past century, nutritionists have helped people gain strong health from diet, resist diseases and recover, and won trust and professional respect.
Nutritionists should first learn excellent basic knowledge, have a clear understanding of scientific knowledge such as food nutrition, clinical nutrition and public nutrition, and be familiar with many skills such as nutritional evaluation, cooking and processing, and nutritional catering. Being able to independently engage in individual or group diet management, nutritional support and treatment, nutritional consultation and guidance in a healthy or sick state can effectively help the public and individuals improve their nutritional status and health status.

Nutrition has been paid more and more attention by more and more countries, and engaging in nutrition work has become a new hot occupation. As an expert in dietary health, prevention of nutritional deficiency diseases and nutritional treatment of diseases, nutritionists have played a very important role in formulating dietary nutrition guidelines, designing and making therapeutic health care recipes and developing food in families, hospitals, schools, health care centers, food enterprises and other institutions.
At the meeting of 196 1 ILO Committee on the Definition of World Occupational Standards, the Swedish Dietitian Association put forward the definition of dietitian and suggested that dieting should be used as a special word for dieticians. 1967, the world labor organization clearly defined nutritionists and public health nutritionists. The former refers to nutritionists who serve patients in medical institutions, while the latter refers to nutritionists who serve healthy people in public health institutions.
Later, we gradually divided into management dietitians, consulting dietitians, research dietitians, sports dietitians, private dietitians and other dietitians engaged in different types of work.
Developed countries and some advanced developing countries attach great importance to nutrition legislation, nutrition education and qualification certification and training of nutritionists. The United States promulgated the National Student Lunch Law as early as 1946, Japan promulgated the Nutritionist Law on 1947 after World War II, 1948 promulgated the Detailed Rules for the Implementation of the Nutritionist Law, and 1952 promulgated the Nutrition Improvement Law.
Many universities have opened food and nutrition, and there are many intermediate nutrition schools, which have trained a large number of nutrition talents. Every country has a perfect nutritionist qualification certification and training system. For example, in the United States, the dietitian association is responsible for the assessment and evaluation of dietitians. Through the establishment of nutrition legislation and nutritionist system, countries have achieved the goal of improving people's physique.
