The point is absolutely right, people do just eat what tastes best, and this food just maximizes for that alone. They do actually, for real, choose to become unhealthy.

That doesn’t make sense in any way. People eat what they learn to eat and what’s available. Choice doesn’t enter into the picture unless something sort of bumps you out of your normal headspace and makes you think about it in the first place.
