The USDA agriculture arm (USDA ARS) actually does some really good work with nutrition scientific lab data (USDA SR-25)

I've also talked to several of the scientists for work, and they are quite the bright bunch and a lot do good research work.

However, I don't see why they couldn't leave the server up at least through October as I actually need to read a lot of their latest work.

This is a very rich and high-quality dataset. I started using it to learn data visualization a few years ago and have been tinkering with it in parallel coordinates ever since.
