Being Innovative in Dietetics

As a nutrition manager, it is essential to not only handle the day-to-day challenges that your facility faces, it is also necessary to stay on top of the trends and innovations in the field. An article featured on SupermarketGuru, a publication centered around "smarter shopping, healthier eating, and better living," discusses the need for supermarkets to differentiate themselves in the competitive grocery store scene.

This article suggests that entrepreneurs generally have the freedom to be creative because they are not tied down by a structured buying or selling system. Grocery stores, on the other hand, may lack this creativity because they often don't have the time or mindset to look creatively at the future.

The central question from this publication is "How can retailers innovate - and integrate worthwhile finds - without impending their ability to compete today?". This question is challenging, and one that may lay on the footsteps of a manager of dietitians at a large retailer. Many grocery retailers are now employing dietitians to emphasize the store's focus on healthy eating. Dietitians can bring creativity to the store by building weight-loss programs, implementing incentives for employees, finding new ways to promote healthy products, and engaging the community in nutrition. Dietitians are more than capable of bringing a fresh, new perspective to the grocery store!
