My understanding is that they closed plants of their own volition because so many people were getting sick. What the government can do is (1) find and prioritize personal protective equipment for food processing and (2) do a better job on enabling mass testing, again prioritizing the food supply chain. Lobbying the government is more powerful when backed up with the popular pressure that will come from this ad and associated media coverage. It’s a relatively generous interpretation, and I’m not commenting on the wisdom of it or what it seeks to induce, but it seems plausible to me.
