You're missing my point—and the point of the film. "Big Food" in the US has led to many, many products of questionable nutrition—and bad eating habits, and this in turn has had an obvious adverse impact on the health and fitness of a significant percentage of the population.

Big Food, with eg. its entirely mechanized approach to raising and processing livestock—is a model that has not served its consumers well.

Much better to have an emphasis on regionally grown, sustainable non-toxic food—but this requires a complete sea change in attitudes in the US—and a lot of education. The film "Food Inc" is part of that effort and I applaud it.
