No one dies from having a cheeseburger or a twinkie or a potato. They die because their overall diet is consistently shitty, unbalanced, incomplete, and they don't exercise.
Be very wary of all dietary advice, and talk to your doctor about options for YOU. No diet advice works for all people. Dietary advice needs to be tailored to you, as an individual, to be effective and appropriate.

You're absolutely right, nobody does die from a cheeseburger or a twinkie.. Potatoes are good for you.
But you have to understand that if you eat a cheeseburger then your body has to direct it's resources to breaking up all the fat, cholesterol, etc.
It's not about avoiding all these things, and not enjoying the taste of certain foods. It's about if you want to be healthy, then you're going to have to watch what you eat, drink plenty water, and exercise.
