Feature Request: Ability to import USDA database

[EP2005]

It would be very nice to be able to import the USDA food databases directly into H&D Manager.

The files are available here, it's just a matter of adding an import feature to use them:
http://www.ars.usda.gov/Services/docs.htm?docid=13746

This is especially nice to have as it features many 'brand name' food items that people can easily select (so they have more accurate nutrient data when entering a meal, etc.).

this is very interesting indeed -- we are planning to add support for this kind of functionality, and possibly make it available as ota service as well.

OTA sounds very interesting :)

While you are at it, you could add a way to allow users to create, share and import nutritional information with each other. "Pocket Diet Tracker" does this and thier members have created a number of import file for various chains.
