 simple fact that unhealthy
food
 is cheap and widely available. Increasingly, people have very busy lifestyles and trying to make time for preparing a meal is not a top priority for many, so a more convenient and fast option is often going to win. Because it needs to be fast, the health factor is a secondary concern and preparing
food
 quickly can often be unhealthy.
For instance
, hamburgers and fried
food
 can be made very quickly, though it contains a lot of sugar, salt and fat. Because of
this
, the
food
 is very addictive and cravable, which leaves people wanting more of it, for which more is very easy to get with fast
food
 restaurants being absolutely everywhere.
Secondly
, advertisements for fast
food
 are everywhere and are becoming more powerful. Companies are getting better at marketing products and targeting you through social media and other means, like billboards and even more subliminal methods.
Also
, even when a consumer wishes to make a healthier choice, many of the advertisements that market a product as being a "health
food
" are not nearly as healthy as they claim to be. In conclusion, I do agree that obesity is increasing in rich countries, through high availability, affordability, powerful advertisements and social media unhealthy
food
 and unhealthy lifestyles are difficult to avoid.
