Double "Food Data" folders #33

Closed josephlei closed 9 years ago

josephlei commented 9 years ago

There are currently 2 folders containing data related to what foods are approved for WIC purchase:

  1. "Food Data" [1]
  2. "food_data" [2]

Proposing the following:

  1. Delete [1] since it is the older of the two folders, this will minimize confusion and redundancy
  2. Update the files in [2] with the most recent PDFs available from the CDPH website
  3. Keeping the CDPH files named the way they come from the CDPH website, they are terribly named and long, but this will allow us to update the foods PDFs without having to re-work the naming of the files.

I did a full dump of the PDFs as of 2015-03-22 using a Chrome download extension and will submit a pull request with the three proposals, lets discuss and modify as necessary. Thanks

Once we get the Microsoft database dumps of the food lists we might not need these PDFs at all.

Issue resolved via pull request, only one food_data folder remaining. Thank You
