If vegetables contain necessary nutrition, how can all toddlers (and some adults) survive without eating them?

How are we all still alive? Whats the physiological effects of not having veggies in the diet?

Asking as a new parent who’s toddler used to eat everything, but now understands what “greens” are and actively denies any attempt to feed him veggies, even disguised. I swear his tongue has an alarm the instant any hidden veggie enters his mouth.

I also have a coworker who goes out of their way to not eat veggies. Not the heathiest, but he functions as well as I can see.

This is interesting to me because alot of marketed baby/toddler food is pretty veggie heavy and usually vegan. It’s odd for me to think about babies can start out vegan (without parents necessarily trying) and then by the time there what 5 (?) A ton of meat is added in and veggies are lessened. Idk.
Another answer could be that yes there are adults who get stuck on…let’s say eating only chicken nuggets. That’s it. That’s their food and sure they don’t die but I’m skeptical that they are “healthy” I honestly think when that happens those individuals probably are taking supplements as well
