I want my parents to eat healthy!!

So my parents came to America about two years ago from Iran, and they don't realize how much crap food is out here. I think they do but refuse to do anything about it. I am actually not one of the people who nod and smile at family when seeing them eat so unhealthy. However they don't really take my advice. My mom now have really high blood pressure and my dad is gaining so much weight. They eat too bad. My mom makes this amazing food all the time, bakes with a ton of gee and butter, and bakes her bread and their portions are insane, every day is thanksgiving times ten. My mom cooks but don't eat as much as my dad, I love them so much and it's hard to see them growing older and eating like crap. Then shush me when I tell them not to eat the way they do. They tell me to eat and put plates piled of delicious food in front of me. I swear I think they eat like 20 thousand calories a day! I cook them food and try to make it good but then mom pours olive oil and butter on top and ruin the healthiness!! Then eat her food on top!
I know people out there struggle with spouses and family the same way I do.

How do you get them to listen and eat healthy for those who succeeded to get their family on board. Any ideas? Help me out here!!

Once they get to a certain age I'd say it's useless to try.
