Americans aren't getting healthier because that's not profitable to American businesses.
It's not profitable to media producers if you're out and about instead of sitting on your butt consuming some electronic entertainment.
It's not profitable to food manufacturers if you're eating easily available fruits and vegetables instead of foods manufactured to have a long shelf life.
It's not profitable to vehicle manufacturers if you rode a bicycle instead of drove.
It's not profitable to the jails if certain drugs were legalized.
It's not profitable to hospitals if you paid to be healthy instead of paid to have symptoms resolved.
It's not profitable to write a message "eat healthier" and put that next to unhealthy foods. It's not profitable to write a message "exercise healther" and put that next to your transportation or entertainment. It's not profitable to write a message "drugs are illegal".
All of that space would be better served on non-harmful consumer messages like... buy this product! Watch your favorite fantasy! Make your dreary life in traffic less dreary with our brand new (and fresh-smelling) automobile! And there's definitely no harm to consumers if all of those businesses are grouped into huge conglomerates... for efficiency, of course. No harm to consumers whatsoever.
