I do not believe it follows from "Much much more people die from processed foods/air pollution in the world than from motorway accidents" that nobody should care about speeding and motorway accidents. After all, far fewer people still are murdered, but the consensus seems to be that we care about murderers.

We can only think about one thing, and that thing must be the most horrible or offensive, rather than the more likely/dangerous. Hence the obsession with terrorists hiding under every rock while ignoring deaths from opioids, smoking, obesity, and COVID. Libertarians would rather be anal probed at every airport than wear a mask on a commuter train.
