Who pays for it? The issues come from the food supply chain charging more and more to increase profits, as well as other increased costs that get passed to the end customer.

I wouldn't support the cost coming out of the government as that just subsidizes corporations that are overcharging. Can they add competition in the food space to drive down costs? Can they mandate food pricing and profit limits instead?

Everybody, through better taxation.

I was imagining the government paying close to the stores cost.

So mandate the grocery stores to not take a profit on the items the government subsidizes or have a crown corporation grocery store?

The first option, stores can only charge the program a small percentage more than what they paid for the item.
