My overwhelming MFP food list

Katkamm77

I wasn't sure where to post this so, since it concerns food, this is the closest heading I could find.

I've been an MFP member for 4 months now and LOVE being here. The sight is very helpful and easy to use. Unfortunately, my food list is growing too long. I have to scroll through pages and pages of items to find the food I'm looking for. There are so many foods I've eaten once but will never eat again. It would be great to be able to delete these from my list. I also find multiple listings of the same food because, when I cannot find it on my list, (ex: I'm looking under Banana and it's listed under Produce) I use the data base and it gets added to my list again. Sometimes it's listed under the brand name (Chiquita), sometimes the type of food (produce) and sometimes under the name of the food (banana). If I could change the name of the food (on my list, not the data base) I could list them all in the same orderly way (I know, I'm anal). It would make items so much easier to find.
Am I being too picky, or does anyone else feel this way? I don't know if this is something that is easily changed but, I wish MFP would change this.
Maybe if we all wrote to them.....
