There's nothing wrong with a good hamburger, full stop. It's the bun 
that comes with it that does the damage. And the chips ('french fries' 
if you live in the colonies).

Constantly bombarding your body with carbs leads to obesity and insulin 
resistance, which leads to type II diabetes which leads to death.

Protein and fat (hamburgers!) are satiating, carbs aren't. Most people 
would lose weight rapidly (and get off the insulin rollercoaster) if 
they just ate hamburgers.

You know how there are essential amino acids, and essential fatty acids? 
There's no such thing as essential carbohydrates. Eskimos are testament 
to that.
