That they will choose to. They practically already have. So many articles and studies are brought about to show humans are eating more than they should and more of it is junk, yet people don't care

Psst. It's not that simple. If you're at work all day and have very little money, you're basically going to have to settle for the cheap, preservative-loaded, premade foods. Depression and stress from that sort of lifestyle cause cravings for sugar and fat, which compounds the problem. Not only that, but epigenetics causes your parents' depression and stress from living in a capitalist society to affect your genome as well. Add in that sustaining yourself on junk food can cause some severe issues with malnutrition, and you'll be craving food mindlessly for that alone (and of course, this also passes on to your children, causing both your body and your childrens' bodies to latch onto fat and sugars aggressively because we must be going through some kind of famine with this malnutrition holy shit -- in nature, you know, fat and sugars would already come bound with necessary proteins and vitamins by default).

Also, the ideal in past generations was actually pretty chubby compared to a very thin modern ideal, so there's that too.
