I found a database with a RESTful web service that I think I can use with my new project. As with anything, there can be hidden drawbacks, but I'm pretty enthusiastic about it:

I pictured the ability to scan the SKU of various items from the grocery store and authomatically put the data into the user's food diary, but I will still have to get the sku data from somewhere. More issues to mull over I guess.
EDIT: So, the people who made the database have made a (pretty sweet) app. Of course. Not sure why I thought any different was possible. I'm still going to mess around with it.
