My first go-to for data representation would probably end up being something to do with coffee. Maybe it's how many coffee shops have opened within the last couple of years, because I feel like I've seen quite a few. Maybe it's restaurants that have recently opened in the Tri-Cities with the expansion of our cities; there's been a lot of growth!
Maybe it's specified to franchises? Or maybe to better promote local eateries, it's local restaurants that have opened and are struggling to make it and we'd do better to go out and try to support them instead of the franchises that have started popping up (I'm not a die-hard against that McDonalds Big Mac; I'd just like us to expand a little more and contribute to the economy of Richland; Should I concentrate on just Richland? There might not be enough). Particularly out on Queensgate in Richland. I live not far from there, and I've watched it blow up quite a bit.
Not only mapping, but representing some kind of data -- after a conversation with Peter, he suggested mapping out caloric intake for average meals and sizing them with circles. Color is also important. Dark red is more calories, pink is less?
Yay!

Frida Kahlo Remanipulation: Reductions
"Demands to Reduce" to discuss ideal beauty standards, commercialized and public demands to reduce in size, always on the road to lose and lose and lose (or on the other end, "eat something!" Frida was literally fed pureed forms of food during her bedridden days in 1945, same as we are being fed sometimes devastating advertisements in the weight loss industry.) There are many of us trying to put a stop to being told that we are "too much" this or "not enough" that. There's pride in individuality and with that can come something fragile, like the size of our bodies.
You are good "enough". You do not need to reduce. You do not need to increase.
