Ben Fine's food system (see abstract in this section of SA 43:5) is examined in relation to other systems. The distinguishing feature of food provision systems is their dependence on both the organic & the inorganic, with the organic properties of food influencing interaction between structures & tendencies. Fine points to a link between the household & agriculture as key, yet this argument is weakened through unclear discussion of: agriculture as defined by biology; vertical provisioning; the concept of "organic"; & the question of consumption. Although Fine's discussion provides imortant points for departure in a political economy of food, neither the organic nor cultural factors are taken seriously enough, leaving understanding of food provisioning systems not yet attained. 16 References.

The main arguments for significant black/white differences in intelligence are identified, & their prima facie plausibility is considered. The empirical meaningfulness of "intelligence" is defended, & results are applied to the idea that whites owe blacks compensation for performance deficits. Reasons that discussion of these topics is currently taboo are discussed. AA
