pseudoscientist remotely involved in food.


Explanation:
This is an outrageously manufactured term. It means absolutely nothing medically, scientifically nor linguistically. Where in God's name do these bastardisations of the English language come from? Sweet Jesus save us from these abominations of our language.

@Trudy - don't go away, this is discussion not confrontation, I only make comment for reaction, I would be most upset should you (or anyone ) take it personally.

  -> Firstly, why not speak English here like the rest of us? Secondly,if you have studied this esoteric subject, why not offer a translation for the asker?
disagree  Nicole Schnell: I am speechless. http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ökotrophologie

  -> you may be speechless, but, as above you offer no translation. By the way your wikipedia solves nothing.
disagree  Trudy Peters: Hast Du schon mal bei Google rein geschaut? // I don't have to, I already agreed with the best answer. But I'll go away anyway... Happy now?
