Ditch the green check-marked "Verified" entries

I just found out the hard way that the "verified" food entries aren't actually verified by any reliable source. One "verified" food I was logging was off by hundreds of calories. The information about these foods claim that they can be trusted. It would be better to eliminate them altogether instead of claiming they can be trusted.
