I think your example of people eating unhealthy foods is pretty reductionist. There are a ton of other factors in play aside from "people are lazy and seek immediate gratification".

Off the top, I would say fast food is far more affordable than fresh fruit/vegetables and lean proteins in many countries, but especially in the US. In addition to affordability, I would say that most people living at or below the poverty line are work long hours/ multiple shitty minimum wage jobs, that don't offer health benefits packages or the freedom to do things like going to the gym on their lunch break.

People can make homemade soup that will last a long time, at home, and it's far more healthy than the garbage one can find in fast food joints.

Fresh fruit and fresh vegetables ain't as expensive as people make it out to be in the States, and are far cheaper in the long-term since having a healthy diet means you won't mess up your health and your wallet, trying to fix your ruined health, though?

Yeah, well, if people are so poor that they can't even afford buying 10 bananas a week, maybe don't have kids, and let the poverty cycle end with them, when their generation dies out of old age, eh?

The solution you are describing is called eugenics.

Pretty fucked up.
