I don’t understand why the USA doesn’t just ban processed foods? I know USA only cares about profit but come on. Other countries don’t eat like we do.

Because there's no coherent regulatory framework to "ban processed foods", no country has ever done such a thing, and it would be political suicide to be the party that banned cheeseburgers, french fries, and Coca-Cola.
Obesity is not just a USA problem.
