On that part you're wrong. Between the food companies (yes, all of them) and the pharmaceutical industry, there exists one hell of a vicious cycle. The food companies (this would include such corporations as Sugardale, Oscar Meyer, Ben & Jerry's, and god knows how many different companies) all knowingly infest everything we eat with who knows how many addictive chemicals and/or substances that make us sick. Mad Cow Disease, anyone? And the pharmaceutical industry manufactures only the stuff for the symptoms, not the cure. This is even seen within the fast food industry with their use of highly addictive chemicals in each and every item they produce. That is one simple reason why our nation is locked in this endless circle over health care "reform"...both the food industry, pharmaceutical industry, and health care insurance industry do not want to lose a profit for good by a cure being released into public hands. They'd rather just treat the symptoms.
