Thanks to both Elizabeth and Grace for you replies. It is clear that in
both cases the community makes an effort (or is willing to incur costs)
to accommodate both allergies and preferences. However, I assume that a
greater effort would be made or a willingness to incur higher costs
would be made for a person with for instance, celiac disease, than a
person who, "feels better now that they have stopped eating gluten".
Are these made implicitly or explicitly?
Abe OK to colour outside the lines occasionally but when you do it consistently you are just sloppy. On 10/22/2020 3:27 PM, Grace Kim wrote:
re: How do you distinguish between allergies (needs) and preferences (wants)? Abe - You don't. If you want to be inclusive and have everyone feel heard/equally valued, you should honor all allergies and preferences. The way that shows up in our community is that we have a sign posted in the CH for the medically critical allergies (i.e., signs at all entry doors saying that the CH is nut free and stone-fruit free - with a list of what is considered a stone fruit). And in our meals program, we accommodate all dietary preferences (gluten free, vegan) for every meal. And in the case of some very specific restrictions (artichokes, raw carrots, beans), we just alert the folks with those intolerance/allergies which dishes have those and they avoid them. grace h. kim aia | schemata workshop, inc. principal pronouns: she/her 1720 12th avenue seattle wa 98122 p 206.285.1589 c 206.795.2470 schemataworkshop.com<http://www.schemataworkshop.com/> Watch my TED talk at TED.com<https://www.ted.com/talks/grace_kim_how_cohousing_can_make_us_happier_and_live_longer> Schemata Workshop employees are currently working remotely given the current public health situation. _________________________________________________________________ Cohousing-L mailing list -- Unsubscribe, archives and other info at: http://L.cohousing.org/info
