It's the myth of the "negative calories" -- that supposedly it burns more calories to eat celery than the celery is made of, so therefore the joke is that if that's all you ate you'd die.
The point is not the funny factor, it's the DANGER FACTOR. That creative spirits often can see what regular people cannot and on some deep soulful level understand the peril that we're all in from this dastardly vegetable.

Man, I had no idea celery was such a hot-button issue. Until now, that is. This is good to know.
