Does "high food prices" sound idiomatic?

Are you trying to say that there are some specific foodstuffs that don't sell well because they cost a lot?
Or are you saying that food prices in general are high and people are going hungry rather than buying food?

If people don't buy as much of something then sellers aren't going to sell as much of it.
