Why is a soup kitchen considered service to the people but McDonalds isn't?

Libertarian thought for the day:
I saw some post on facebook that said...
"You value is not determined by who is worth the most but who provides the most service to the people". Then it had a picture of some white dude in Africa serving some kind of soup....
But there is a sign on McDonalds that says "More than 1 billion people served".
...So then wouldn't the owner of McDonalds be one of the greatest people in the world considering all the hungry people he has served?
My point is: big businesses serve the wants and needs of their customers through products and services. So how are they not serving humanity when they provide things such as cell phones, computers, transportation, etc. that increase our standard of living? But yet, they are the bad guys and the big evil capitalists, go figure, ficca.

Is it really increasing our standard of living? At which cost?

You don't think that modern forms of technology, communication, travel, and farmind have improved our standard of living?
At what cost.... it is improving and expanding the economy so not only is there no cost but there is a surplus
