Spelling of Term

Quoted text:

“Each person will have an equal share, without special distinction. The cuisine of sacrifice means first of all equal access to the common supply of meat, an alimentary democracy.”[1]

The original text used the word “elementary” in the edition we found. But “alimentary” makes sense; can you help us verify if a later edition made a correction?
