Do you think it's ethical for companies to sell junk food to their customers, knowing full well that it's the primary cause of preventable death? I've heard people say that eating fast food is a choice, but so is eating at all.

its ecological impact is the unethical part and due to the general issue of negative externalities in capitalist economies
what people eat is up to them

Eating at all is less of a choice because the hungrier you get the less self-conscious and more driven by instinct you are.
Do I think it's unethical to sell junk food? Yes.
Do I think it's unethical for companies? No, I think it is for people involved in selling junk food.
Do I think so because it's the primary cause of preventable death? No, I think so because it is the primary cause of preventable unworthy disease-ridden wasted life which brings with it a many other complications.

I think what's unethical is government interventionism in the form of subsidy for products detrimental to people's health rather than, if there has to be a subsidy at all, for produce and health food in general. I shouldn't be able to buy two burgers for the price of three leaves of kale (this is what regularly constitutes a "bunch").
