Add "Image recognition" to log food in a faster way

Image recognition technology should be utilized by the food logging portion of the app to log food faster. A user would be able to use the camera in-app, much like for the barcode scanner, but instead by taking a picture of the actual food and having the app identify the food or foods that it is/could be.

This is needed because:
It is tedious to log food daily at this time. Adding the ability for the app to recognize many foods and allowing users the ease of recording their food as quickly as posting the same food to Insta will encourage logging and help with health goals
I'd use this: Daily
