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

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.
