This would be really interesting to play around with and see how it works. Whenever I go to a restaurant that isn't a national chain, they usually don't have nutritional info which makes it harder to log. This sounds amazing. In a few years time it'll probably be even more accurate.

    ^^Not entirely sure. Did you read the full article? It's not capable of doing certain foods yet...but it's a step in the right direction. Maybe in a few years time it will be perfected.
