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.

Here’s a very specific example:
Folic acid is something that, when eaten by pregnant women, prevents babies from developing certain disorders. It is found in leafy greens, but it is also put in things like cereal to decrease the occurrence of these disorders. I imagine similar stuff occurs with some other nutrients.
