I Predict Virtual Success!

I believe that with the field of Nutrition will look very different in the future. With the advent of virtual worlds such as Second Life, many will opt to do business out of their home in this alternate reality, rather than make the long commute to work each morning. Dietitians will no longer work out of the hospital or the local gym to give personal nutrition advice, but will hold meetings online with those seeking to live more healthfully. In a world such as Second Life, centers will be built specifically for healthy living to provide easy access to trustworthy nutritional information and suggestions. Personal assessments that cater to individual needs or problems will even be made over this virtual network by registered dietitians. Support groups for people struggling with different problems relating to nutrition and health will be established to encourage people as they strive to make lifestyle changes. The field of nutrition is a vast and ever changing profession. I have no doubt that its adaptability in this realm will easily and successfully carry over in our societal shift to the virtual world.
