Does New Hampshire license dietitians?
New Hampshire requires a license to practice or represent oneself as a dietitian and reserves the LD title. The same law says it does not stop anyone who does not claim to be a licensed dietitian from giving nutrition advice, counseling or assessments, so how far the practice restriction reaches is unsettled.
