Sometimes when people are given a choice, large numbers of people do choose something that isn't good for them. For example, look at diet and exercise. If being healthy is so awesome and natural, why is the obesity rate now so high and still increasing?
I'm not saying that's also true about modern women's lifestyles, but the logic of the OP isn't universally sound.
The obesity rate is high and increasing because the environment humans exist in changed. We aren't fundamentally different biologically than we were 100 years ago. Our food system very much is different from then.
