Hungry Americans expect you to lower food prices the minute you are in the White House. However, this directive may not be necessary as the hunger issue will soon resolve itself.
some will afford food, some will perish, and the market will stabilize. the invisible hand wins again
Since most Americans have a couple of years of extra padding, the best approach might be to encourage reduced consumption; higher prices for food and beverages could curb waste and excess.
"actually the poor are fat, and so when you think about it going hungry might be kinda good for them!"
this is just the bald-face PR (ie. propaganda) of a razor-toothed sociopath to hand-waive rising food costs against stagnant wages (ie. falling real wages), not realizing they're sharpening the guillotines with every word.
I don’t see how this could be interpreted in any way other than “the savage filthy ungrateful poors troubling us so will soon finally depart this mortal plane ”
“There is, and always has been, a widespread belief among the more comfortable classes that the poverty and suffering of the masses are due to their lack of industry, frugality, and intelligence. This belief, which at once soothes the sense of responsibility and flatters by its suggestion of superiority, is probably even more prevalent in countries like the United States, where all men are politically equal, and where, owing to the newness of society, the differentiation into classes has been of individuals rather than of families, than it is in older countries, where the lines of separation have been longer, and are more sharply, drawn."

Are they really saying “food is too expensive, so buy an even more expensive drug that keeps you from being hungry”?
It seems contradictory until the real position comes into focus: “give me more money. now.
”
Yep. Truly incredible. This is that capitalist "innovation" they talk about
"let them not eat cake"
Those drugs also cause serious health problems and death, from what I've read.

Even liberals realize this stench anywhere
