FWIW, I lived in Indiana for a bit earlier this year. Indiana, I understand, is one of the "fat" states, second in the US for obesity rates.
I can see why. Restaurant foods are often swamped in "3 cheeses" or (even better) "5 cheeses". How about *no* cheeses?
While supermarkets were indeed full of processed foods with numerous additives and fillers, we found lots of first-rate vegetables and fruits, cereals and meats. Organic food was readily available.
I felt that some of the people I met ate badly because they knew no better. This is possibly more an "education" issue than a "food industry" issue. If people stopped buying processed food and went for fresh, healthy raw produce, I'm absolutely certain the industry would meet the need.

"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
