Not a panacea. I stay fat no problem without junk food. Processed foods make me ill, so I make almost all my own meals from whole ingredients. Too many calories is too many calories no matter how you get it.

I'm a pretty good cook, though.

Obviously one should not eat too much, but I was responding specifically to the comment about the industrial revolution leading to engineered foods full of empty calories in the grandparent comment. I would personally like to see such food regulated mostly out of existence, but in the meantime I just encourage people not to eat it.
