I hope that this makes sense in ruby. I used single quotes on the outside - maybe that makes sense in ruby.

gistfile1.rb

isaac_is_hungry = '{"foodstuffs":[
        {
            "name":"Pizza",
            "healthRating": 3,
            "tasteRating":8
        },
        {
            "name":"Quinoa",
            "healthRating":8,
            "tasteRating":2
        },
        {
            "name":"Pad Thai",
            "healthRating":6,
            "tasteRating":8
        }

]}'
