why do children seem to be able to eat almost anything and stay relatively healthy compared to adults?

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?

They get exercise

you can get away with a lot of ‘bad’ food if your daily calorie intake is still same/less than you’re burning

then again there are plenty of children who are obese too so they’re far from immune
