I'm sorry but that's complete baloney.
While certain segments of the meat production industry are over-engineered to the point of being dangerous (pig farms and meat-processing in particular) there's nothing you can do to completely eliminate any of those maladies, nor is there any way to completely negate the potential for plagues.
Cities are not the cause of any of those, nor would getting away from current zoning methods do any thing to drastically improve them.
However I am in agreement that there is a point at which populations become too dense.
