@wineworldnews This was discussed elsewhere and a range of hidden disabilities emerged - including recognising food allergies. Vineyard lunches are great if you can eat.

@Lizgabay There are so many aspects to consider. A friend of mine has epilepsy. I know about her experiences when looking for a job. She is open about it. But there is also the feeling that some have not taken her because of it. 🤔🤔🍷👍😉🍇 Best regards Torsten

@Lizgabay @wineworldnews very true! I am mostly treated like a burden for my food restrictions. The lack of empathy in the hospitality industry for anyone who can't eat certain foods is disgusting. I just feel pity for those people who lack any kind of creativity in the kitchen. I eat a more diverse diet than that major of people I know without restrictions who often just rely on meat or cheese for flavor.

@wineworldnews thanks for sharing. I live with an invisible disability. Many of us have Long been advocating for WFH options. For decades. Covid opened up that possibility, but many are expected back to work. Unfortunately the default human in every industry is healthy, white, and most importantly male, and anyone outside that demographic will inevitably run into some sort of push back or discrimination. Invisible disability is an addition because we often have to share very private information about our health in order to get accommodations.

@sarahmayg My girlfriend feels the same way. Unfortunately. But you also have to say that through knowledge in recent decades, much has changed for the better. But there is also a lot of room for improvement.

@wineworldnews some things are better except food culture. Accommodations also mean not treating people like shit for having dietary restrictions.
