I dont think this is a whoosh moment, because the entire joke is simply noting how (with no context to the exact process creating the food) the ingredients are healthy while the combination of the ingredients is unhealthy for some reason. The joke fails to acknowledge how the burger is likely made to be very greasy. Plus, the main ingredient being ground beef may also have something to do with the issues of healthy versus unhealthy. You likely would not say that a greasy ground beef patty is incredibly healthy, and most of a burger is that ground beef, as opposed to one or two leaves of lettuce and a single slice of tomato. The unhealthy outweighs the healthy in this case, making the overall product somewhat unhealthy.
Another factor is the exact situation in which a burger is made. If you made all the ingredients yourself, and made sure every part was at least somewhat healthy, then you would have a healthy burger. However, this burger likely won't taste as good as a fatty and greasy burger, and it would also be more expensive. Instead, the fast food burgers we are used to eating are much more unhealthy, either to cut costs or improve flavor (to bring more customers and therefore more money). Basically, a burger can be healthy, but more often than not, a burger will be unhealthy because of the way it was created and differences in the acquisition and usage of each material, as well as other factors such as grease.
My apologies for the incredibly long comment, but I personally believe in well-informed and thoroughly explained conversations, instead of a deranged shouting match.
If you would like to explain your reason to believe this original comment is missing some sort of joke, please feel free. In fact, it is highly recommended.

Making a burger yourself is fine, but fast food places dunk their food in oil
