Are stores trying to make Americans fat by having sales only for junk food?

So a store i always go to always has sales constantly mostly junk food. Sometimes pasta, cheeses, and fruit. But 85 percent is junk.

What goes on sale is often the foods that don’t go as fast. So to move them faster they put them on sale.

They sell what is cheapest to produce and supply

Pile it high and sell it cheap

Well food markets will try to market as best as they can. I think it is more to do with the huge portion sizes in America, lack of food quality, no culture of walking (they drive even to the local store) and in general, a more sedentary lifestyle. However, obesity will cease to be an issue in the West in the next decade with drugs like Ozempic and newer iterations.

Pasta is also junk food.
