Revamp database / food source #27

Maybe look into parsing the USDA database, the nutritionix one is alright but I want something as comprehensive as what's in Cronometer.

It might involve just shaping the data into a more predictable form

What if we figure out what we need to track, specifically:

how do we deal with weird serving sizes? do we normalize everything to grams? Is this possible in the USDA database?

USDA DB has an api, so let's use it!
