Copy the html source into your writeup replacing Xs with the appropriate numbers for your food.
Check my node under
spinach spinach for an example of how it looks
Problems:
Copying. Browsers can't copy text worth @&$*. So when copying the html code your browser will probably add in spaces, convert tabs into spaces, and otherwise screw up the formatting. What can I do? I modified it until netscape can copy-paste it to look mostly correct, but I doubt IE will copy it in the exact same manner. I see no way around this. suggestions welcome.
Tips:
When noding food items, node the brand name as part of the title. That way there aren't fifty different nutrional information writeups under common food items
If it's a non-processed food item, like sugar or spinach, you could probably writeup the nutritional information under the non-branded title, as these items are pretty much the same no matter what.
