Marketing definitely plays a part, don’t get me wrong - but unhealthy food is cheap, and we are still in a cost of living crisis here in Australia.

These foods are pumped to the gills with simple starches, sugars and fats to make them hyper-palatable - short-circuiting our brain impulses, leading to addiction - and play havoc with our leptin/ghrelin hormones levels leaving us hungry shortly thereafter, leading to over-eating.
