FOREWORD It is very appropriate that in this Centennial year of women's suffrage in New Zealand that New Zealand Dietetic Association is celebrating its 50th Jubilee. The history of dietetics in New Zealand makes fascinating reading. No one could failto be impressed by the vision, determination and dedication of so many women to improve the standing of foodservice and nutrition in hospitals and then in the wider community.
