  Of course. I was wondering how eating less could cause death. That "academy" is sponsored by Wendy's and Coca-cola. The organization also publishes nutrition facts sheets for the general public, which food companies pay $20,000 to take part in writing the documents.[77] A list of these publications for the general public include: What's a Mom to Do: Healthy Eating Tips for Families sponsored by Wendy's.[78] Lamb: The Essence of Nutrient Rich Flavor sponsored by the Tri-Lamb Group.[79] Cocoa and Chocolate: Sweet News! sponsored by the Hershey Center for Health and Nutrition.[80] Eggs: A Good Choice for Moms-to-Be sponsored by the American Egg Board.[81] Adult Beverage Consumption: Making Responsible Drinking Choices sponsored by the Distilled Spirits Council.[82] This industry funding also gives food companies the ability to offer official educational seminars to teach dietitians how to advise their clients in a way that advances the interests of the food company. For instance, in a Coca-Cola sponsored seminar for dietitians, the speaker promoted free sugars consumption for children as a healthy choice.[83]"
