Simple solution; stop having kids you can't afford.

There is no main driving factor for the huge food price increases over the last 5 years. Food prices are cheap in the U.S. because food companies know most Americans can plant and can much of their own food. The reason we pay is mainly convenience. Sooner or later the newer generation will get it say enough is enough and support farmers markets and their own garden. Then those massive companies will fail, and new ones that are better will take their place...it's called capitalism.
