Makes sense, happy to report that this will make it into the next version amongst some other things that didn't make it into the MVP. Thanks a lot for your feedback!

As for the food db: I use Open Food Facts which is great, but can be messy and sometimes wrong as it's mostly crowdsourced. I combine that data with data from US Food Data Central, which is an awesome resource.

You will see open food facts data as unverified in the app whilst food data central will appear as verified. Hope that makes sense.

I am in the process of adding major US restaurant chains as I recently found another great dataset with more than 30000 entries. So McDonalds, Starbucks, Dunkin Donuts, etc also coming.
