> Costco doesn't have a wide selection because the idea is Costco only sells good stuff.

This is where you get deeper into Wall-E territory. A lot of their "good stuff" is junk food. And a lot of people eat more of it when it's lying around their houses. And really it's only "good stuff" because it's brand name. There are better tasting chocolate bars with less packaging than Hershey's Nuggets.

Costco has everything from raw foods to processed foods. You want to cook and eat healthy? They have it. You just want to microwave something and be done with it? They have it.

If you get junk food from Costco, that's because you bought junk food.

But isn't the argument was that Costco carries good stuff?

There's good junk food and bad junk food; whatever junk food Costco carries is presumably good junk food.

The "junk" in junk food isn't talking about the quality (good/bad) thereof.
