>>No, nobody forces me to buy groceries at a certain store.
At the only store in town. Which is the case when these factories are set up in rural areas. The rural economy becomes distorted and choices lessen for those who had few choices to start.
With respect, this sounds a bit like "let them eat cake".

"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
