IDDSI gave the world a shared language for texture - Level 2 means the same thing in Manchester as it does in Ontario. That's a genuine achievement.

But a shared standard isn't the same as a shared solution.

Not does it meet the standard? — but does the person want to drink it?

The tidiest sign of a bad drink. 🥛 An empty glass looks like nothing happened.

That empty glass says it all.
