No. Over evolution, humans and their systems adapted to fruits and vegetables.In fact, all living organisms on earth relay on fruites and vegetables. For example, a cow needs grains and grass, a chicken needs seeds and plants need fertilizer. All living things relay on each other to sustain health and life. Fruits and vegetables provide us with vital vitamins and fibres, not only that, but the also provide us with antioxidants. They protect us from life threatening dieses which include: cancer, heart dieses, scurvy and strokes. However, vegetables do contain more vitamins and minerals that fruits, making them contribute better health for a longer period of time. Concluding, humans cannot live without fruits and vegetables due to their crucial vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.
