The problem is income. Bad food that makes you fat and diabetic is the ultra-processed kind that's a lot cheaper than fresh produce and quality semi-processed food. A lot of the population simply doesn't have the means to eat well.
The other problem is that ultra-processed food is highly addictive. It's been proven that the combination of fat and sugar - which can be found in most of these processed food - is as addictive as cocaine. It's hard to resist.
In other words, in the modern world, staying healthy and in good shape takes a lot of self-control and a lot of money. The poor today suffer from rich people's diseases of yesteryear thanks to the agro industry.
