In this meeting, the main discussion is about how to store and associate ingredients, meals, and stores in a database. The goal is to create a system where users can rank ingredients based on preferences and find stores that have those ingredients. The meeting participants discuss the possibility of having separate tables for ingredients, meals, and stores, and using unique IDs to associate them. They also talk about using reverse geolocation to determine a user's current location for accurate ingredient suggestions. The participants conclude that the approach of using IDs and refining the data based on the quality of the information received from the third-party vendor is the best way to proceed.
