The correct answer is: I grant this food will be somewhat dear, and therefore very proper for landlords, who, as they have already devoured most of the parents, seem to have the best title to the children.

Swift is targeting Protestant Irish Landlords (upper classes). He clearly speaks about them in very negative terms since they oppress Irish Catholic tenants just because of their religion:

Here he says that these landlords have exploited and abused their Irish Catholic tenants and that naturally they can do the same with their children (the humor is meant to criticize the landlords). Swift is actually criticizing the fact that landlords have taken everything from their Irish tenants, only the children are left but not for long.

Explanation:

This is in relation to a story in the book "The Hiding Place" authored by Corrie Ten Boom. This story is a biography on Boom's life during the war in Holland.

Otto was a young German who was also a Nazist. He was as an apprentice to Boom's father, who is a watchmaker. When Otto becomes an apprentice under Boom's Father, the family realized the effect of Nazism as Otto proudly often states that he was in the Hitler Youth, and excuses himself during daily scripture reading saying the father is reading the old testament, a "book of Jews" and consists of lies.

At a point in the story, Otto started abusing Christoffel, an old man who also works at the watch shop. Christoffel was always subjected to Otto's violence such that he is being talked down to and ridiculed by him. Sometimes, Otto also trip and hit Christoffel alongside shoving him into a wall. These were some of the ways Otto persecuted and abused Christoffels.
