Background: Vegetarian and vegan diets effectively reduce morbidity and mortality from many chronic diseases and are associated with reduced environmental impact. However, little is known about the role of teaching vegetarian and vegan nutrition in dietetics education in the United States. Thus, we examined the resources and methods used in teaching vegetarian/vegan nutrition in accredited dietetics programs in the United States. Methods: A cross-sectional, internet-based survey was sent to all Accreditation Council for Education in Nutrition and Dietetics (ACEND) program directors in the United States (N = 574). Questions included queries about where vegetarian/vegan nutrition is taught in the curriculum (if at all), instructional methodologies, and the resourcesutilized. Overall, 205 program directors responded to our survey. Results: Vegetarian/vegan nutrition was taught in a variety of courses, most commonly in introductory nutrition courses. The evidence-based resources used most often included the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (AND) Position Paper on Vegetarian Nutrition, the AND Evidence Analysis Library, and peer-reviewed studies. Hands-onfood preparation activities were commonly cited as a useful means for teaching vegetarian and vegan nutrition. Nearly 60% of 183 respondents to the relevant survey question indicated that their programs reviewed flexitarian/semi-vegetarian/low-meat diets. Innovative teaching techniques included stand-alone vegetarian nutrition courses, cu-linary experiences including recipe development and sensory evaluation, student presentations to the community, and asking students to follow vegetarian/vegan diets and then evaluate those experiences. Conclusions: Many dietetics educators used innovative strategies to teach vegetarian/vegan nutrition. These methods offer novel experiences for students to increase self-efficacy in vegetarian/vegan nutrition that can ultimately improve public and planetary health outcomes in practice.

As already noted in the previous work, “Nutrition on Aircrafts: a Menu Analysis (Part 1)”, the organization of passenger service for air transport consists not only in the transportation of passengers, but also in the organization of meals on board airliners. The assortment of dishes depends on many factors such as: budget of the airline, season, flight duration, class of service, departure time, national characteristics and category of passengers. In this paper, the menus of Nordwind Airlines and Azur Air are considered. The airline “Nordwind Airlines” at the stage of purchasing tickets offers its passengers the opportunity to form their diet from the proposed list of dishes for an additional fee. Typically, the list includes chicken dishes, meat dishes, pilaf and special nutrition (vegetarian nutrition and nutrition for children), there is also the option “Guaranteed nutrition”, which, depending on the duration of the flight, includes soft drinks; hot nutrition; Tea coffee. “Azur Air” Airlines in the standard package of services provides snacks during the flight or does not provide on-board nutrition at all. Nevertheless, there are several services with which you can receive ready-made culinary products for an additional fee. The airline cooperates with Fly Service LLC (St. Petersburg), which provides various catering services, including on board an airplane. The Restaurant on Board service is available only upon departure from Pulkovo Airport (St. Petersburg). The information on the international rating according to the Skytrax World Airline Awards of the world according to the criterion of “Airline Catering” is presented. Among Russian airlines, only Aeroflot in the Economy Class nomination is present in international ratings. The paper presents a menu with the calculation of nutritional value and calorie content.
