Well if we limit the visual input to the realms of visible light then maybe not, but what if your camera could recognize other frequencies, like infrared and the brocoli gave off a unique set of frequencies that allowed it to be identified. Also the app doesn't need to know about everything, just everything food related, and not even all of it just the major.
It would also need a way to measure weight. It's all fair enough saying it's broccoli but you also need to say how much.

Don't they teach physics anymore?
