I think the original picture had her on a pile of what was supposed to be chocolate. Whatever it was looked kinda sorta, vaguely pinecone-ish, and that's all that's needed for a new meme.

Only certain pine trees have cones that can produce nuts. Pine nuts are good, or so I hear.

I'm pretty sure there was another pic of her licking a single scale that she had plucked off of a pinecone, and everyone was interpreting that as her eating the pinecone itself and debating the realism or lack thereof of such a scenareo.
Of course since Equestria Daily has a thing for Trixie, any potential meme involving her will usually get a bit more attention, so you soon had another person pick up the deal with the mountain of pinecones (it did look a bit like chocolate, but I'm pretty sure there were several spots you could see the full shape of a pinecone)
So this is just another addition to the concept of "trixie eats pinecones" much like how people have picked up on "ponies in socks" meme (but with a much narrower focus for now)

Personally, I think the original picture had her eating the SEEDS from the pinecone (which are store between the scales) so even if not legitimate for ponies, I do think it's legitimate for people. I'm not certain if a pony would want to bother munching on the actual scales of a pinecone though. I think they COULD do it, just that they wouldn't want to.

It is possible that as a traveling entertainer, she may have had to make do with eating unorthodox foods just to survive.

I thought it was based off a fanfic where she had to resort to eating pinecones after being run out of Ponyville because she lost her cart and everything in the Ursa Minor attack.

Horses can find food pretty much anywhere in the wild. They'll nibble the new growth on the ends of pine and fir boughs, (which don't taste all that bad in small amounts) but no, they won't eat pine cones.
The pinon pine has those large seeds, almost the size of peanuts, that are good to eat. Most pinecones have tough little seeds smaller than apple seeds. This meme is lots of fun because I get to tell everybody all about pinecones.

Oh good god, the theories. No, it was just that Kloudmutt was doing a Livestream and was taking rapidfire requests. I thought up "Trixie eating a pinecone" for something wacky and he did surprisingly well at it. I requested it again when he was doing quick sketches of human ponies, and he did it well again, in a different position/expression. So, I figured I'd request it of some more artists, and everyone so far has depicted it differently. It's a great way to see how different artists draw the same strange scenario.
