 * Perhaps this article is referring to a Nutritionist. –BuickCenturyDriver 23:56, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
 * The article seems to preclude that when it states "A food coach may have as much knowledge as a nutritionist or herbalist without the same certification.". -- brew crewer  (yada, yada) 05:17, 22 June 2008 (UTC)


 * From what I can see, the "food coach" thing does exist. If you google "food coach," you get about 42k results, some of which appear to be actually relevant.  People like this, this, and this appear to do this as a full-time job.  The question then is, should it be included?  I have found very few people who actually are "food coaches," and not even the most prominent one has an article already.  There is a position entitled "food coach" at Sears, but it looks like something totally unrelated.  Aside from that, the page itself is pretty bad.  No sources, no wikifying, and the whole article is a puff piece for alternative medicine. The second paragraph is just sniping at doctors.  So, unless someone is willing to fix the article up significantly and to show me why it should be notable, I say delete. BecauseWhy? (talk) 05:22, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Redirect and Merge to Nutritionist - wikipedia is not an encyclopaedia of WP:EVERYTHING. Merge the good stuff with nutritionist - its says a Health food coach is as knowledgeable but uncertified as nutritionist - and lose the cruft. Rgds, --Trident13 (talk) 22:47, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete and redirect to Nutritionist; The only difference given between this and Nutritionist is that a Nutritionist may have a certification, but per the article on the topic, there is no regulation on the term Nutritionist (as opposed to dietician) - so anyone can use the term regardless of education/certification.
