   Vorgestellt wird ein Glas der "Whitall Tatum Company" zum Füttern eines liegenden Kranken.

 

Die Firma war Glaslieferant für Drogisten, Chemiker und Parfumeure und hatte ihren Sitz in New York – die erste Glasfabrik der USA, 1806 gegründet:

"In 1806, a man named James Lee opened a glassworks factory in Millville, New Jersey. This glassworks, located on Buck Street in the town of Millville, was later owned by the Whitall Tatum Company. Whitall Tatum would have fourteen owners over the first seventy-five years of its existence.Whitall Tatum, was the first glass factory in America. It operated from the early 1800s through 1938, located in Millville, NJ. The location was ideal for making glass because silica-based sand is plentiful in southern New Jersey, the Maurice River flowing through Millville provided a source of water, and plentiful forests provided energy for industrial processes. The Millville glass works was started in 1806 by James Lee and went through several changes of ownership. In 1838, John M Whitall became a partner in the business. He lived in Philadelphia and worked at the company's headquarters there. In 1845 after his brother Israel Franklin Whitall joined, the firm became Whitall, Brother & Company. Later, Edward Tatum also joined the partnership and in 1857 the name was again changed to Whitall Tatum & Company".

 

Das "große verbale Problem"

Wie das "Füttern" nennen? Während die Amerikaner ungeniert von "feeding" sprechen, ist in Deutschland eine Diskussion entbrannt, ob "füttern" nicht entwürdigend klingt. Viele bevorzugen "Essen anreichen", "darreichen", der Ausdruck "eingeben" erinnere zu sehr an Daten in einen Computer "eingeben". Wie schreibt ein Diskussions-Teilnehmer am Forum: "nicht die Worte sind wichtig, sondern die liebevolle Zuwendung" '(https://www.frag-mutti.de/fuettern-ein-unpassendes-wort-fuer-bewohner-im-altenheim-a38607/).
