After logging for several years my food diary is rather bulky. I would like to delete obsolete food items but get an ALERT: This food is publicly shared; you may not delete it. I do not have my settings to public and don't recall having this problem before I became a "Premium" member. Any assistance is appreciated.

    You can edit any food you have personally added to your database, and you can delete personal foods, as well, provided you have not shared them with the public database. At this time it is not possible to delete any food you've elected to share on the main database, you can only edit those foods.

    Based off the error message you're receiving you, you opted to share these foods to the public database when you created them.

    Apologies for the confusion or any inconvenience this may cause.
