1) People develop a taste for processed foods and that benefits the fast food industry.

2) Inspite of all attempts to practice moderation, the average person gains about one pound per year. That's good for the weight-loss industry.

3) As people eat more and more processed foods and gain more weight they become more prone to illness and disease. That's good for the healthcare industry.

4) At some point people die and that's good for the funeral-parlor and cremation industry.

In general, talk show hosts don't dislike any of the above 4 steps. Why should they? As marketers, their interests and benefits are the same as those of the above industries. And they can't pick and choose which of the above 4 steps to like or dislike. It's all one long assembly line to the grave as far as they are concerned. To survive in their jobs they have to embrace all 4 steps as one complete package.

This is why Bloomberg, and others like him, need to be vilified. Being pro-health in any shape or form is considered anti-industry.
