Well, his first problem is thinking “food inflation” is a thing. There is no inflation, it’s all just unchecked corporate greed.
Want to fix the problem? Introduce a new tax that cleans house of all the money stolen by the corporations and put them back into education and health care.

That would just increase the price further as the corporations would shift the cost to the clients.
Want to solve it permanently? Crown corporation grocery stores.
If the taxes are designed to create a ceiling, it wouldn’t matter how much they charged.

Only way that works is a 100% tax rate after a certain point and what I think would happen is that they would find better ways to dodge them…
