Dear Jonathan,

In a subjective world food is produced to satisfy nutritional and physiological requirements. This world produces
enough food to saisfy these requirements - at least in theory if we divide total
quantity of food produced by population - however parts of this world exist in famine and under nutrition. This
could be explained by food and its relation to taste.


It is better explained by geography, an aspect of the personal, or in the case of permitted famine, the impersonal.

I am not sure what you mean by "taste". For what you say about it -- Taste is universal and objective, not
subjective.
- is contrary to my understanding of it.

Thus, when you write I begin to understand reality not as
subjective or observation or even just thought: I am engaged with it as a surrounding experience. As an objective
reality.
-- I am confused, for it is our inate uniqueness that makes our engagement with "reality" subjective,
though subjective within the bounds of that which is common and therefore objectively conceived if not personally
experienced.

This thread makes me more convinced than ever that ideas precede language...

Kindest Regards
