Trump’s plan to lower grocery costs would reduce grocery options

During a town hall in Michigan on Tuesday, Donald Trump was asked how he would bring down the price of groceries. He answered, “We allow a lot of farm product into our country. We're going have to be a little like other countries. We're not going to allow so much."

Most observers noted that reducing food supply would actually do the opposite—raise prices—and yes, it would. But it would also limit the foods we’d have available to us.
