Cheeseburgers and milkshakes have nutritional value, just very very very very low relative to other items.

Yeah, no doubt that a cheeseburger has
some nutritional value, but the point was still, and always has been, moderation. I'm not referring to idiots who drink tons of alcohol and decide to take a road trip. Should I change the analogy to soda, which has
no nutritional value? Having three steakhouse burgers isn't going to cause anyone to crash into your car. Having a pack of cigarettes in one sitting wouldn't do that, either. Yet why is one judged harshly for being a weak victim of peer pressure?
A few calories don't make the argument flawed. Saying a cheeseburger is 'physically healthier' because it contributes some nutritional value is like saying marijuana is 'emotionally healthier' for possessing pain suppressing attributes.
