Canned fruit *in heavy syrup* is a culprit. Canned soup *with high sodium levels* is less than healthy. *Sugar-coated* breakfast cereal is a trigger. Coffee creamer is more partially hydrogenated vegetable oil, with artificial flavoring and chemical emulsifiers. Lunch meat = sodium, nitrates, nitrites, and other potentially dangerous chemical additives. There's nothing wrong with pizza in moderation.
I'd say there's really nothing wrong with ANY of the above, as long as it's not your primary source of food. Ask everyone who died from the *combination* of obesity, diabetes, and heart failure, whether these foods are what killed them. Oh wait - you can't. Because they're dead.

Partially hydrogenated oils (aka
trans fats) were banned in the US several years ago and have been largely been replaced with Palm Oil, which is highly saturated and while better than
trans fats is probably still not good for you. Commercial palm oil production is also bad for the environment.
That being said, I agree with your general assessment.
