weepie

'makes one cry' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.

'little food?' is the wordplay.
'little' becomes 'wee' (similar in meaning).
'food?' becomes 'pie' (pie is a kind of food).
'wee'+'pie'='WEEPIE'

'that' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for weepie that I've seen before include "Sentimental film (colloq.)" , "may be enjoyed in cinema" , "is sad to see" , "sloppy work" , "Novel type" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
