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.

So interesting you mention vegetables I grew up in Mexico for like the first 7 years of my life we don’t really push vegetables (other than lettuce or broccoli really ) but I mean all our meat dishes have tons of tomatoes, bell peppers, or even lemon. Yeah vegetables pushing on kids is such an American concept thing to me like Latin america for the most part pushes fruit based instead of vegetable based. So I mean if you mean how well there is fruits , fruits have fiber and nutrients just like vegetables, their also more easily digested if you think about it (so I think that’s some reason why in Latin America we don’t push for vegetables, they make most people stomach hurt (bloat, GI distress).
