That was my thought as well. No way this is what he meant. He's almost definitely just saying whatever seems like a confusingly almost correct enough thing to cover for the fact that he's completely hamstringing the FDA and CDC so they stop looking too hard at the things big pharma and big agriculture are doing (and even worse, what they're doing together) but it wouldn't strike that vague "something is kinda right about this" vibe if there wasn't some truth to the fact that yeah we are drowning ourselves in plastic and cheap dopamine fixes. On the subject of fuckery they're up to together, I remember reading a CEU on antimicrobial stewardship that said agriculture is a major contributor to the development of antimicrobial resistant pathogens.
It made me remember back to watching (I think it was) Food inc in highschool: there was a guy who owned an actual real deal free range chicken farm. His butcher shop was actually open air, which the bigger factory farm tried to report as unsanitary. When actual swabs were taken, his setup was cleaner just because he was sanitizing all of his tools between each butchering. If there first chicken over the factory belt has e. coli, now they all do. So instead of slowing down and doing things in a way that doesn't spread pathogens as easily to begin with, they just feed the chickens a shitton of antibiotics. And overusing antibiotics leads to antimicrobial resistance.
