I guess I don't get it.

What is the effect of fast food? If more people eat healthier food, healthier food becomes cheaper and more accessible to everyone. It would dramatically reduce health care costs. It would lead to more workforce productivity and increase overall happiness (less incidences of depression, anxiety, stress, etc....)
Yes, people are free to eat whatever they want. I'm not the kind of condescending guy who sneers at people who eat unhealthy all the time. It starts with education and step 1 of that education is not defending places that make bad food and letting people know exactly the damage they're doing to their body. If they want to keep making bad decisions but know what they're doing, that's their freedom. It's why I don't agree with things like soda bans, but I agree with better dietary education and also agree with more transparency that restaurants should be obligated to show how they are prepping their food.
