A lot of recipe programs have this capability,enter your recipe
ingredients and it outputs the nutrition information using the USDA food
database.Gourmet Recipe Manager is one,I'm sure there's lots more.

I was thinking of some kind of Wiki user interface where the public
adds to the database.
My idea is this:
It is a nutrition program.
The user takes ingredients from the database and drag and drops them
to a nutrition program.
The program adds all the nutriments in the dish and spits out a
nutrition chart.

as honest as their options. Cooking must be set in stone, not

American Food and Drug Administration or Dep't of Agriculture. I've been
using a nice program cobbled by one of our participants called Food
File. He was trying to sell a commercial version, but may have abandoned
it. It displays certain key ingredients in a table and a pie graph.
What we're doing here is writing rudimentary "software specifications."
There may be more data than was presented in Food File, such as vitamins
and minerals. You'd need serving amounts, too, in order to present,
let's say, a portion of stew or an entire meal. I don't know if there's
any commercial product that does this or not. If in our domain, I'd sure
use it!
