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.
In: Biology
Plenty of toddlers eat veggies, baby food is usually vegetable based. Nursing infants get their nutrition from breast milk which has pre-digested vegetable nutrients in it, just passed on from the mother.
Your coworker will be fine but may not have optimal GI health if he never eats fiber. You can get vitamins here and there from the foods you eat, veggies are the most accessible/plentiful. And the fiber really makes the difference over many processed foods
