Leave all of your stereotypes about "diets" and "dieting" behind! On this episode of Cutting the Curd, Anne Saxelby and Sophie Slesinger are talking with Elizabeth Fassberg, Registered Dietician and president of Eatfood (and her son, Jack) about nutrition and healthy dietary habits. Tune in to hear about Elizabeth's start in the food world making cakes at age fourteen. Hear about how her experiences working with low-income youth inspired her to become a dietician.

As with anything, always consume in moderation- but cheese is filled with calcium and vitamins that are extremely beneficial to your health! Find out more; tune into this week's Cutting the Curd. This episode has been brought to you by Cain Vineyard and Winery.

"I consider myself a foodie dietician because my background is all about food and how to eat really wholesome and delicious food. I don't always focus on the vitamins and minerals, but talk about real food, delicious food, and how it actually tastes." -- Elizabeth Fassberg on Cutting the Curd
