[extropy-chat] Happy New Year and resolution.

[Joseph Bloch]

It is a great idea.

I know that the Weight Watcher's website does what you're talking about, 
and so does the Zone Diet website, but not with actual nutrition values; 
only with how many "points" a given food is within their system.

Perhaps there's a market for such a thing?
