I think it could be because unhealthy food that can cause obesity is more addictive and therefore more profitable.

100%. That's what happens when you normalize overconsumption and unhealthy eating habits.

It's not just that, often times those unhealthy foods are all that are available to people. Food deserts are a thing, people do their grocery shopping at convenience stores.

Overworking people to the point where they might not have time to cook a meal is also an issue.
