Fat, cholesterol and all the other bad parts of food end up lining your vessels which can cause a stroke.
Why or how does it get past the stomach acid?

Fats and cholesterol's other foods that are bad or, sometimes bad for us, are what I'm assuming your speaking about. These things do get synthesized and ground up, fats do get separated and dissolved, this is what's happening but, the stomach can't or doesn't know the difference.
It's just like say, the cars engine doesn't know there's water in the gas or, the gas is diesel by accident, or has oil in it.
It takes all the other organs that are working good including your brain to tell the difference. It starts with say, your brain.
The brain differentiates whether the bread is good, has mold on it and will eat it, the eyes help here also. So you see, your whole body helps. You have to say "no" to certain things, not rely on your stomach to the the whole job alone.

Because the chemicals in question do not react with the stomach acid.
The stomach has 2 jobs
1: mash the food into a thin pulp
2: denature proteins
its acid simply doesn't mess up cholesterol or fat, good thing too. Both are necessary in our diets.
