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.

It’s because the vitamins and minerals that are in vegetables are not unique to vegetables generally. Also, many processed foods are enriched with vitamins and minerals to make it harder to suffer from malnutrition. Not to mention there’s hundreds of various multivitamin options that are OTC.
