What’s the difference between taking vitamins and eating vegetables?

CAmann94 asked:


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).
