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.

I will add that many of the vitamins in veggies can also be found in fruits. Even the pickiest kid on the “grey diet” as our pediatrician used to call it, will usually eat cantelope, watermelon, bananas, oranges, and berries.
