It would be best to utilize each ingredient’s packaging to help dictate the form and color of the symbols, icons, maps, overlays, size, and spatial relationships to portray the story of your favorite meal best.

“The gifts of the earth are all in one bowl, all to be shared from a single spoon. This is the vision of the economy of the commons, wherein resources fundamental to our well-being, like water & land & forests, are commonly held rather than commodified.”
