mysql food+calorie database

[ripken204]

i am looking for a large mysql database with a bunch of foods along with their nutritional information. does anyone know where i can find such a thing?

something premade? if you're in the US, did you try contacting the FDA?

[ripken204]

ya something premade. i doubt the FDA would care, lol.

i would think that they already have something like that made for public use.

other than that, i can't think of another source for such a tool.
