##Problem Statement: It's nearly impossible to be familiar with all the ingredients in your food, let alone their effects on people. I want to provide a solution that will auto-check products for dangerous ingredients (potential carcinogens, hormone disruptors, environmentally toxic, or allergens for individuals), and provides an opportunity to express your dissatisfaction with a product to the manufacturer.

##Market Research: There are existing APIs that will search food and find nutrtional values/ingredients already existing but I want to set up an app that does this, then uses that ingredient information to warn consumers about potential health hazards contained in the product, as well as providing an opportunity to express dissatisfaction to the manufacturer.

##User Personas: Target user groups include health-conscious people, people who freak out over the word "toxins", people with uncommon allergies or food-sensitivities, other at-risk groups.

###Technologies:

Concept Components Problem Statement: A clear, concise statement describing the problem your project will solve. Draft Feature Set: A detailed outline of all major feature sets that will result in the minimum viable product Draft Technology Choices: This does not need to be final, but you should have an idea of which of these technologies you would like to use to accomplish this project Format

Since most of the capstone deliverables will be included in your final repository, please create this document in markdown format.
