Created by left wing activists with no reference to the jobs or low price food created for people with low income. Irrelevant.

I saw that documentary, and it really grossed me out, but not enough to stop me from eating meat or fast food.

Ever since Supersize Me was debunked, I take most documentaries that have an agenda with a grain of salt. I was touring Auburn's college of Agriculture yesterday. We visited this huge lab where they synthesize and analyze different chicken feed formulas. He said they're not allowed to give the chickens hormones or steroids by law, and that extremely large chicken breasts are achieved through genetic selection. He also said that most farmers (both agribusiness and small-time) typically only give antibiotics to chickens in the case that they get sick, not like they just give them all daily doses in their food as a preventative measure. Point being, from talking to an agriculture professor with no vested interest in my opinion of the industry, the poultry industry seems to be on the up-and-up.
