Abstract

A nutritional substance information system collects, stores, tracks, and transmits information regarding the creation, preservation, transformation, conditioning and consumption of nutritional substances, and importantly, in nutritional values, and correlates such information with various organizations, entities, industries, and governments outside the nutritional substance supply systems, so as to optimize the production of nutritional substances, as well as optimize the consumption of nutritional substances.
