Why is this the top response? That's exactly the point, there is nothing wrong with delicious snacks. The problem is that have a mountain of evolution distorting your "free market" of food choices, and snacks optimized for deliciousness flipping biological triggers that want to make you eat more of those snacks. And yes, you can overpower those triggers, but we're talking about over a nation's population. Plenty of people care and still end up gaining 2-3 pounds per year, which is really not that much (20-30 calories over your expenditure per day, on average), but 3 pounds a year really adds up over a decade or two or three. As for increases in the demand for healthier food, I urge you to read that article for how that demand is met, often in ways that are not substantially healthier (if at all).
