        1. I wish the MyFitnessPal nutritional information database was provided by a non profit, or otherwise publicly owned.

        funny the way that the Internet leads to so many natural monopolies. turns out there's no point to having two independent databases of nutritional info for common products. this one happens to be locked up inside MyFitnessPal, a complicated interface, and a subscription model

      feels like there'd be a reasonable public health justification for a government to create a open data alternative

    anyway, it turns out that even with access to MyFitnessPal, I am still too lazy to log what food I eat (even for a limited period, to get a baseline)
