-the seconds thing is the description
-the third thing is the inventory image, does not need .png but lets add it for clarification
-if you want dont add an inventory image
-the 4th thing is the amount of health you get after eating it
-you can create tables like these for other things too...
-like fuel recipes, cooking
+local creates local variables to be used in that table
+original functions such as 'description' will not work, you will have to rename them, such as to 'desc'
+it needs to have the i in ipairs so it has the index of information, 
 use this method because it is more efficent
