This is probably pointless, but
It is a fiction that this type of food causes obesity and heart disease, as eloquently implied by the cartoon.
If you ate NOTHING but this kind of food you would be deficient in some nutrients, but you would not gain weight and your blood lipid profiles would normalize. You would also not kill your kidneys. Just ask anyone who has been successful on a low-carbohydrate diet like Atkins.
However in most of the western world it can be hard to find meats that are raised with natural food, no hormones and antibiotics, and raised and killed humanely. That's your health problem there.
