OP - Maybe because quality food, lean meat and fresh produce is more expensive than a bag of chips?
Many live in food deserts and can't access quality stores, just dollar and convenience stores, and junk food joints.
Those who watch tv all day obviously don't work, so maybe some are disabled physically or mentally?
Or maybe lack of work turned on the "I don't care" attitude?
Or maybe they have never been told about healthy nutritions, healthy cooking or budgeting their money in more efficient way?
There could be so many reasons... take your time to think about them.

If you're so concerned - try to occupy them more or maybe you should try to teach them some healthier life habits?
Some people genuinely don't know better. How many of them work for you? Maybe you could do some group sessions, coach them how to do better in life than be a domestic help? Do they speak English?

Who are these people working for?
Why are you not helping if you are also in the house 24/7 observing these people?
How many of them are there? 2? 20? Why is there more than one?
What are their duties? Has anyone indicated what they should be doing when they are not "needed"?
Are they there every day from the time you wake up until bedtime?
Who buys and brings in their junk food?
And most importantly, are these the same people forcing you to eat food when you are already full?
Unfortunately, June has to shut this one down...It really doesn't pertain to non-romantic relationships. It pertains to some oddly unhealthy action that some individuals do. I guess one could say it remotely addresses some people's relationship to what they eat? But, that being said:
