Is a profit margin ....

Hello

I feel that we have a really skewed vision of our health in the United
States. We just don’t put a value on it, and the value we put
on food is a profit margin rather than what’s good for us.

Does this person mean that eating healthy food is a kind of profit for us. It's not only about taste.

No, the author is saying that we value food not according to how healthy it is, but according to how much profit it can generate for business.

No. The writer is confused. He does not seem to know who "

I think "we" is "society in general".

OK, but that supposes that some part of Joe Average's motivation for scarfing on a Big Mac is profit margin. I don't think it is.
