[Data-modeling] Food (was Re: Sex)

[Alec Flett]

Thad Guidry did a great model of food at the ingredient level:

http://www.freebase.com/view/user/thadguidry/default_domain

There is also the toplevel /food domain is fairly under-managed.

http://www.freebase.com/view/food

Would be great to see these three domains merge a bit... (like thad's  
domain has way more useful stuff than the toplevel /food domain)
