First, he didn't say 10 dollars was the profit, he said selling something at $10 was profitable. Increasing that price to $30 wouldn't make it three times as profitable, but rather more than that, possibly much more depending on expenses.
However, increasing cost isn't going to increase, or even maintain the same demand, especially if you are already at the high end of what the market can bear.
It would be funny if we could have ushers in front of our houses, checking our groceries to make sure we don't sneak unauthorized food in...

Everyone on SNAP buys lobster and T-bones and champaign(sp?) and then gets in their new lexus SUVs and talks on their IPhone 9's to their friends as they drive back to the hood to get in their Jacuzzi and relax, since they don't have to work for these things like the rest of us.

“It is much better to enact a minimum wage law, even if it deprives these unfortunates of work…Better that the state should support the inefficient wholly and prevent the multiplication of the breed than subsidize incompetence and unthrift, enabling them to bring forth more of their kind.”- Royal Meeker, Woodrow Wilson's Commissioner of Labor Statistics
