Foodstitute is a class exercise for becoming a python developper.
It aims at finding food substitute using the terminal and all of that
amongst a few food categories which are stored (and customizable) in settings.py
The product's architecture can be found on Open Food Facts wiki.
To customize the categories you want to explore (you can add as many categories as you want please note that the more categories you add, the longer it will take to feed the local database!), simply change the categories in settings.py. Add (or replace) a category using its tag in word.openfoodfact.org. The full list of categories is available on their website.
MySQL must be installed and you must know the login and password to connect to this client.
CREATE USER 'id'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'mypassword';
