There are set standards that all LTC have to follow.

One of my issues with the video is with AUPE's flawed sample size. They used a small town as a representative for all of the senior's "plight". I'm not saying that the system is perfect or that the food isn't mediocre, but AUPE clearly has an agenda they're trying to push.
An agenda for better quality food is what I see. It's sad that the quality of food served to seniors has gone way down since they implimented this new system.
