You will use "Kup" when talking to one person, and "Kupcie" when talking to more people.
Is jedzenie in the genitive as opposed to the accusative here because of the "więcej," which indicates a shortage/lack of food?
Basically "więcej" is a quantifier and every (I believe) quantifier takes Genitive in Polish.
If I remember right, "żywność" better translates to "nourishment," and it can also mean "food," but only when referring to food accompanied by drink. Also, I don't believe that "żywność" is included in this course, but if it were I think it should be accepted as the sentence is out of context.
I believe it's accepted in other similar sentences. The problem is that it's too formal for such a simple phrase.
