Commission Spokesperson Dave Grotto Touts Pecans at Dietitian Conference

The Georgia Pecan Commission’s participation at the American Dietetic Association Food and Nutrition Conference and Expo communicated both usage and health messages, including the important antioxidant message, to a targeted audience of over 9,000 dieticians, nutritionists and health professionals in November. This was by far the largest attendance for this conference since the Commission began exhibiting in 2007.

On behalf of the Commission, spokesperson and registered dietitian David Grotto mingled with attendees and spoke about the health benefits of pecans. The booth received traffic from well-known dietitians including Today show dietitian Joy Bauer and Flat Belly Diet author Cynthia Sass.

Attendees were excited to interact with Dave Grotto at the Commission’s booth and to sample convenient, one-ounce packages of Georgia pecans. Visitors to the booth also entered to win a copy of Dave Grotto’s latest book, 101 Optimal Life Foods.
