Translations:Dietary Considerations/9/en

| Social=Dietary needs are frequently entangled with self-consciousness. Many people describe a reluctance to mention requirements in advance, fearing they will be perceived as demanding or high-maintenance. That hesitation tends to increase when the setting is new, when the group is unfamiliar, or when someone is a guest for the first time. The result is often silence, followed by an evening spent quietly not eating.
