what happened to this "epidemic"/ "crisis"?

The government never "ordered" stores to stop selling fattening foods and drinks.  I understand that obesity is not contagious, nor does it kill as fast.  But our officials seem selective as to when they shut down human society.

Obesity related problems kill far more than the Coronavirus.   We say we can’t shut down junk food that kills yet here we are shutting  down restaurants.  It doesn’t make sense.
