You are right on the money.
The problems start early.
Many school districts around the country have eliminated physical education programs and also sell vending space to the junk food companies.
If you look at the prices that Coke/Pepsi will pay for exclusive rights in a school district you will see that they know that if they get the kids hooked on their brand they will stay loyal customers for life.
