If you eat 1000 calories of McDonald's or 1000 calories of vegetables, it's still only 1000 calories. People are fat because they eat too much, period. Unless they somehow defy the laws of thermodynamics.
Actually different foods are processed by the body in different ways. If you ate 2500 calories of fruit every day, you'd put on more fat than someone who ate a 3000 calorie diet of protein.
It's not all about calories. We need nutrition through a balanse between protein, fats, carbs and vitamins.

Dieting is way more complicated than just eating less calories. It's the type of calories (protein, sugar, etc), then the type of sugar, different fats, whether you need more protein or more sugar that day. On the base level, yes, if you eat less calories than you burn, you'll lose weight, but there are heaps of exceptions to that.
The problem is that unhealthy stuff is generally really easy to produce, so the price is lower. "Healthy" stuff is harder to raise/grow/make so it has to cost more.
Actually taking the cheap, easy way out is how you got ther in the first place. If it was cheap you'd eat the same amount of diet food as you did fatty food and where would you be then? Life's tough and I'm not gonna sugar coat it or you would eat that too.
