Why is it so important for humans to have a balanced nutrition but not for animals?

Most animals have a fairly simple diet, carnivores eat only meat their whole life, cows eat exclusively grass etc. So why are human bodies so picky and need a balance of protein, fat, carbs etc from different sources to perform well?

In general animals are adapted to eat the “balanced” diet that they can find in the environment, humans can manipulate their environment to create whatever food they like so can easily get an unbalanced diet.
