Do we NEED both?

I love veggies, but fruits not so much ( yes I know, weird). I eat veggies every single day, haven't had a fruit in months, my question is, do we really need both??

    I suppose its all about balance. Im the opposite to you. I hate vegetables and love fruit and rarely eat them both equally. I suppose if they have the same nutritional value then its fine. :)

    Very simple question on this, how do you feel?

    If you are taking a supplement to gain the vitamin C and other things you need from fruit then I don't see an issue. As long as you still feel full of energy and you aren't having problems I wouldn't worry about it.

    Yes I take my vitamins everyday :-)

    i go through phases where fruit and veg are concerned. as i posted in another topic, in the summer months i am good but in the winter months, i struggle to maintain the 5 a day. it just does not taste the same.

    In terms of overall health, yes, you need both.
