I wish I could see Net Carbs in the macro breakdown!

I just made this suggestion to MFP here - http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10499879/please-let-me-see-net-carbs-carbs-fiber-in-my-macros/p1?new=1

Please give it support if this is something you would like to see too! My carb intake would look much different if net carbs were shown! And if net carbs were in the % pie chart. It looks like I always go over my carb intake but because I eat carbs with a lot of fiber they shouldn't be jacking up my carb %!

"Net carbs are simply the grams of total carbohydrates in a portion of food minus its grams of fiber. Because fiber is a carbohydrate that your body cannot digest, it does not raise your blood sugar levels or trigger an insulin response."

The major problem with this is MFP has a number of international entries where fiber is not included in the carbs already. Introducing net carbs would mess up all these entries just for one country (the US) who doesn't already do this.
