I think it all starts with direct-to-consumer (DTC) ads by fast food merchants.
Fast foods (or processed foods) work like drugs on one's system and often leads to addiction. Fast foods permeate our whole culture from top to bottom. That's why 72.9% of the U.S. population is overweight.
So of course people are suffering multiple health issues and are desperate to find relief. And the phamaceutical industry is doing the same thing as the fast food industry: They're trying to maximize profits for their shareholders. Once again it comes down to personal responsibility. People need to stop consuming fast foods so as to maintain their health and reduce their need for drugs.
Note: Fast (processed) food also includes many of the foods people eat at home: They are items like pizza, hotdogs and hamburgers on buns, juice, breaded and fried foods, any kind of bread made with flour and all baked goods made with flour. Essentially, anything that is not a natural whole food is what I'm talking about.
