The kind of person who would take the job might actually be well-suited to it.

Our current methodology is basically a form of natural selection towards who can promise the most while delivering the least, at the same time they extract maximum reward in exchange for some minimum appearance of competence.

The only people who is going to take it are people who are wealthy and don't give a flying fuck about earning money from it directly.
They’d also have to not give a flying fuck about a healthy diet or medical issues, but even if we assume you’re correct, is that somehow worse than the only people who take the job being wealthy and obviously very intent on earning money from it directly?
