Root causes of poor dental hygiene should've been explored

Good documentary. However, this film did not focus on the role of the diet of the average American and the role of the fast-food companies and soft drink companies in causing dental problems in the American population. Medicare is essentially subsidizing the harm caused by these companies. These companies should be liable for the harm they're causing to the American population.
