Rice is not a vegetable, the question was if you can live off vegetables. Thats why I said you would struggle to hit your caloric needs without processed grains and oils.
You could maybe make it if you ate a couple pounds of beans a day with dirt on them. I really think your digestive tract would struggle though.
- mastazi 3y agoSo you are saying that vegetable oil is not a vegetable? How come that rice, which comes from a plant, is not a vegetable? I'm struggling to understand where you are drawing the line. Reminds me of those debates on whether tomatoes are fruits or vegetables (the answer to that question is "yes").
- abdullahkhalids 3y agoThere are a lot of disagreements on definition of the word "vegetable" [1]. But it seems like the OP is asking about the most conservative definition. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vegetable https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vegetable
- timeon 3y agoYes but vegan diet (mentioned in this thread) is not about eating 'vegetables'. Just not eating from kingdom Animalia.
- scns 3y ago> Thats why I said you would struggle to hit your caloric needs without processed grains and oils. We consume way more calories than we need. Should be easy with corn (part of the three sisters).
