Meals should stack in groups of more than one.
Otherwise stockpiles quickly fill up only with meals.
Only if something like this is added...

Hm, that could be a buildable furniture, then, like weapon racks, yes?
That would be the idea, yes, covering a 1x1 tile. I think a 10 meal capacity is a nice number, it's low enough that it doesn't just become a bottomless pit for meals, but large enough to be many times more convenient for food storage. A couple of these near the eating areas would likely be more than enough for your averaged sized colony.

I like the idea. Expandable on request.
While we are at it, what about containers for the rest of the stuff: bins, barrels, pots, bags, and the lot.
Would like to see a comprehensive set of containers rather than just one.
That lets you keep stockpiles, and the stuff in containers in the stockpiles.
(Very, very DF perspective......)
There's an existing thread (http://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=2428.msg22142) with some different ideas thrown around.
