Could you live somewhat healthy off of bread and vitamins?
Just wondering because bread has all the calories you need and vitamins seem to have tons of nutrition. If you took fiber supplements and i suppose a tiny bit of fat every now and again could you live moderately well off of such a diet?
What's the difference between taking vitamins and eating vegetables?
Essentially, the reason why we should eat vegetables and other healthy foods is because they contain a good amount of all the good things we see in the nutrition facts chart that our body needs... and not much of the bad stuff. Also, because it's a better food to eat as opposed to chips and candy as a regular diet... obviously.
But in terms of the nutrients that we gain from vegetables... why can't I just take a really good multivitamin supplement (plus whatever else that particular one doesn't have... like fiber supplements etc..). If I managed to find vitamins that contained everything I needed on a daily basis.... why should I eat vegetables?
Is there any other benefit? Or for the veggie haters like myself, can I opt with vitamins/supplements as a complete replacement for my veggie requirements? (assuming I don't eat extra junk food/bad food to replace the lesser amount of food on my plate).
