Organising data

gistfile1.txt

There are 2 possibilities I can think of to organise the data cleanly.

Option 1)
  * Have 2 JSON objects. 
  * One that is just a map between the salad name and the id. We can then pass ids from the form to the calculator functions.
  * The other json object contains all the actual data.

  E.g.:

{  
   "chicken & avocado":"1",
   "roast veggie":"2"
}

{  
   "1":{  
      "small":{  
         "name":"chicken & avocado",
         "id":1,
         "protein":"45g",
         "energy":{  
            "cal":250,
            "kj":1025
         }
      },
      "medium":{  
         "name":"chicken & avocado",
         "id":1,
         "protein":"55g",
         "energy":{  
            "cal":300,
            "kj":1225
         }
      }
   },
   "2":{  
      "small":{  
         "name":"roast veggies",
         "id":2,
         "protein":"45g",
         "energy":{  
            "cal":250,
            "kj":1025
         }
      },
      "medium":{  
         "name":"roast veggies",
         "id":2,
         "protein":"55g",
         "energy":{  
            "cal":300,
            "kj":1225
         }
      }
   }
}


Option 2)
 * Have 1 json object. 
 * It looks exactly like the 2nd object from option 1, except instead of being keyed by an ID, it's keyed by the salad name
 * The downside is it means we'll be passing the salad names to the calculator functions, and that feels a bit hacky.
 * Alternatively we an still use the integer IDs, but it means parsing a moderately complex json object

             "cal":250,
             "kj":1025
          }
       },
       "medium":{  
          "id":1,
          "protein":"55g",
