Granted, by the same assumptions, we could believe that 2000 calorie injections via carbs, some fat injections inside your stomach, and a whack of vitamin pills would legitimately keep you alive and healthy. And I'm not sure if that is 100% realistic.

Not really. There's a lot more to eating healthy than hitting calorie targets and taking supplements. Human bodies are quite resilient so she could probably stay alive, but the lack of a varied diet and fruits and vegetables is going to take its toll over the long term.
That said, I do agree that most fast food is really no worse for you than a lot of "healthy" alternatives that people eat every day once you account for the calories. Frozen entrees and many prepackaged foods have just as much (if not more) crap in it than fast food.
