Cooking with disabilities

I was looking at this article cuz in my family, my dad's sense of smell is dulled (practically not there), Nico's cousin is diabetic, and some of the women in my family are overweight (fuck you, genetics). SO I was trying to find stuff to do to work around those "disabilities", though they are not what we commonly think of when we hear the word. A "disability" is often just the inability to do something- including not being able to smell (and as a result, not being able to taste much), process sugar in your blood, or choose what food to eat, how much to eat, and when to eat. These are all disabilities, too!
So anyway, I was looking through this article and it reminded me of some stuff Amber Greenlee was talking to me about on Thursday regarding smell and taste.

Anyway, I'm still on the hunt for recipes around these issues but the article is really interesting (it's on my del.ici.ous, acct, too).
Check it out! (sorry, no pictures this time :-/)
