if you have the right supplements and enough water, you don't need anything else.
i mean what's stopping us from just creating some sort of vitamin supplement that has all the nutrients we need, then we just get our water from a pool or something

you can't get all of your vitamins from a pill. You need to have a balanced diet because there is no food out there that contains every single vitamin and mineral that the human body needs.

"you need food to live idiot"
yeah but in theory if you could create a vitamin supplement that had everything you needed, that'd be the same thing as eating food except it'd be easier and less gross

"you can't get all of your vitamins from a pill. You need to have a balanced diet because there is no food out there that contains every single vitamin and mineral that the human body needs."
the reason i'm asking this thread is because i thought maybe the answer was "we don't need it", which would make it pointless to eat food, so i'm wondering what's stopping us from creating a vitamin supplement with all the nutrients we need, then just getting our water from pools or something

I'm not really sure what you're asking for, but I think you should look into some science before you try to ask why we need to eat.

i'm trying to see if it's possible to live off of just vitamin supplements and water without any food in theory, not what vitamins and minerals are and where we get them from

You aren't going to find much on that topic. Basically, humans need food to survive, they cannot live off of only water, and you need food to sustain your body and give it energy.

well i'm not going to find much on that topic because no one has done this yet so there isn't much information
and yes, i know we need food to survive, i said that right in the beginning of my post.
but what i'm wondering is if it's actually possible to do it (which i highly doubt), then how would you go about doing it? what kind of supplements would you have to make, etc.
i mean yeah you can't just make a pill with everything you'd ever need and that be it, it's not that easy lol, but in theory could you create a supplement with all the nutrients you need? if so then what would it look like?

Yeah, there really isn't any information on living off of only vitamins. So, it is pointless to try and debate why we need food or discuss what it would take to live without it.
"And yes, i know we need food to survive, i said that right in the beginning of my post."
No, you did not. You stated "why do we even need to eat", which means that you believe we don't need to eat, but I know better.
"But what i'm wondering is if it's actually possible to do it (which i highly doubt), then how would you go about doing it? what kind of supplements would you have to make, etc."
We aren't going to learn anything by discussing this subject.
"I mean yeah you can't just make a pill with everything you'd ever need and that be it, it's not that easy lol, but in theory could you create a supplement with all the nutrients you need?"
I am going to assume you mean "in a lab". No, you cannot make a vitamin that provides all the nutrients your body needs. Your body does not work like that. It is not that simple.
"If so then what would it look like?"
You cannot get every nutrient you need from a vitamin. If you were to try, it would probably end up killing you.

no one has done this yet, but in theory it should be possible, which is why i'm trying to find out what it'd actually take to do it, but no one knows because nobody has done it yet
"And yes, i know we need food to survive, i said that right in the beginning of my post."
"No, you did not. You stated "why do we even need to eat", which means that you believe we don't need to eat, but I know better."
i'm wondering why we need to eat, if it's possible to live without it. i never said anything about whether or not we need it
"But what i'm wondering is if it's actually possible to do it (which i highly doubt), then how would you go about doing it? what kind of supplements would you have to make, etc."
"We aren't going to learn anything by discussing this subject."
we're going to learn that it's possible, or it's not possible. if it's not possible, then i'll just drop it
"I mean yeah you can't just make a pill with everything you'd ever need and that the be it, it's not that easy lol, but in theory could you create a supplement with all the nutrients you need?"
"I am going to assume you mean "in a lab". No, you cannot make a vitamin that provides all the nutrients your body needs. Your body does not work like that. It is not that simple."
you can create a supplement with everything you need, the only problem is there wouldn't be much information on how to do it because nobody has done it before and nobody knows how to do it yet
"If so then what would it look like?"
"You cannot get every nutrient you need from a vitamin. If you were to try, it would probably end up killing you."
why? because that's what you've been told?
