Calories (a unit of measure) are not bunk as an "idea" but the relationship of food Calories and weight gain/loss are highly complicated.

An appeal to complexity isn't really helpful. The human body is complex but the causes of widespread obesity aren't, IMO.

Specifically for the calorie model?

Eat a plastic shoe. There's more than enough calories in a shoe to keep you going for a day.

This misses the point that the calorie model is bad for weight related things. The point where the calorie model could apply is for an irrelevant amount of calorie restriction
