   _Teach Yourself Esperanto Dictionary_, by John Wells has:

      food nutrajxo
      nutrition nutrado

   Is this dictionary wrong? If so, can anyone recommend a better one.

This dictionary is as wrong as any bilingual dictionary. To find out
the meaning of Esperanto words, use a monolingual dictionary like
PV or PIV. Esperanto words are not defined by their English
translations.
