Obviously children suffer from poor nutrition too, they become obese, they can be malnourished and what not.
And yet to be it looks like often they are more “resistant” to bed food. They eat too much in one sitting? No stomach ache. They eat horribly for months? Blood test would still give decent results. They don’t eat vegetables and fruits? Still no problems pooing.
What makes them so flexible and robust in their diet?

First of all, I reject the idea that children never get stomachaches from what they eat. I constantly see kids rolling around moaning that their tummy hurts because they jammed a bunch of junk down their throats like pigs. Often because they do in fact have trouble pooing. Kids are known to walk around barfing all over the place for absolutely no reason.
Kids are more active and more resilient though. They also require more fat and carbohydrates in their diet, because they are growing. While that doesn’t mean that a constant diet of candy and zero vegetables is good for them, it does mean that a lot of “children’s food” is not as bad for them as it would be for an adult.
