This qualitative ethnographic study identifies how problems in the feeding process of a group of people with functional diversity influence different eating situations. The study, which was carried out in the Autonomous Community of Castilla La Mancha, Spain, is based on interviews conducted at the headquarters of the different participating associations for functionally diverse people, at the participants' homes, and in public spaces. The study included 27 subjects aged between 18-75 years. Their functional diversity had caused significant changes in their sociability, particularly in contexts associated with food consumption. The analysis identified three main themes: social ghettoisation and culinary loneliness; stigma, shame, feeling like a burden, and loneliness; and exclusion or self-exclusion at the dining table. Our participants' narratives underscored the importance of acknowledging the significance of changes in eating-related sociability due to functional diversity. For the study subjects, grief, loneliness, and shame contributed to disassociating food consumption from social celebrations, withdrawing from restaurant meals, or conversations while eating to avoid other people's stares.
本定性民族志研究旨在探讨一群具有功能多样性的人在喂养过程中所面临的问题如何影响不同的进食情境。该研究在西班牙卡斯蒂利亚-拉曼恰自治区进行，以对不同功能多样性参与者协会总部、参与者家中以及公共场所进行的访谈为基础。研究对象为 27 名年龄在 18-75 岁之间的个体。他们的功能多样性导致了他们社交能力的显著变化，特别是在与食物消费相关的情境中。分析确定了三个主要主题：社会隔离和烹饪孤独；污名化、羞耻感、累赘感和孤独感；以及餐桌上的排斥或自我排斥。我们的研究对象的叙述强调了承认由于功能多样性导致的与饮食相关的社交变化的重要性。对于研究对象来说，悲伤、孤独和羞耻感导致他们将食物消费与社交庆祝活动、餐厅用餐或吃饭时的对话分开，以避免他人的注视。
