And now for something completely different.
(Will say, no joke, rather a true story, but funny nevertheless.)
After WWI women were first accepted to academic careers, so Lise Meitner could habilitate. Her introductory lecture has been in the then still mysterious field of astrophysics and was titled: "Problems of cosmic physics".
A reporter thought this cannot be - presented by a woman. Therefore he titled in the newspaper:
"Problems of cosmetic physics."

Talking about date issue.
Bought some rocket salad a couple of days ago it went off before I could eat it.

So I think you have the franchise on that ... and you will be quoted thereafter! ...
Because just "Food Combining Diet" and "Food Combinations" is an old and somewhat different kind of story, with several approaches and theories (not just the ones mentioned there in the wiki ref), some very new and modern ones too ...

Google finds "low-entropy diet" literally in some "cure cancer" crackpot environments..

If we don't take it down to the molecular level, in terms of food combinations it would mean (as ~ in your original) "to basically eat one type of ingredient or food (organized food)".mfb said:
Then of course you starve to death! ... which would definitely increase the entropy ... Ooops!

I would measure absorption of 400-800nm light by any available answers. If I find one with very low absorption, then that answer is clear.
