O(ur children are now a huge market and target for companies. This gives them an "I want" attitude. Maybe that's part of the reason they grow up to adults thinking they can have what ever they want without paying or working for it. Not the only reason, just part.

But I think its true to say that if you put a huge tax hike on junk food it would cut peoples consumptions down. Doubt it would ever happen though because of the revenues which would be lost

If consumption of MacDonalds causes health problems, let the burger eaters pay for it. In the UK it's partially covered with our Health System, in the US it should be dumped on the companies producing the crap food, same with cigarettes, gas, etc. The damager pays for his damage.
