Similar things can be said about the liquor store guy. He's either a snooty guy who mistakes a sky-high opinion of his own tastes as expertise or he's people-pleasing salesman who just says "excellent choice" no matter what.
Also, the liquor store guy doesn't give two fucks what the stuff does to you in the long term.
*Edit: Let me rephrase that last part: The main reason the liquor store guy is less critical of your choices than the others is that he doesn't give a fuck what happens to you.
For those unaware, "Registered Dietician" (RD) is the term in the US for a professionally trained and certified medical professional who focuses on helping people with nutrition.
I'm also a fan of Harvard's Nutrition Source website for easy to read science-based info on eating healthy.
The US government uses a pyramid. Harvard's Nutrition Source prefers a circle that resembles a plate to help give a graphic representation that's more relevant to a meal

To be fair, a liquor store clerk is probably more qualified to judge your decisions than a "nutritionist". F*** those fake experts.
