I understand what you're saying but not sure of you understand capitalism. All the things you listed is exactly how capitalism works and the ultimate power is with you. For example let's take lack for regulation on sugar industry. Sugar industry must have lobbied hard to get that privilege but its up to the consumers to stop buying sugar when they know its bad for health.
When the demand stops, supply stops.

I don't think you know what capitalism means if you think capitalism is fat people's fault and not a systemic issue with much more sociopolitical nuance.
