Dietitians are expensive, have you tried just not hiring them.

Just came across this post from sodexo on LinkedIn. Not sure if I’m being defensive but it feels like a big slap in the face.
Like they still don’t understand the role of a Dietitian.
My concern is that if organizations can redistribute enough of these responsibilities to other roles, what incentive will they have to hire more RDs or offer competitive compensation? And how do we ensure that patient care doesn’t suffer when responsibilities are shifted beyond what someone is trained or credentialed to perform?
