The Daily Values of nutrients are absolutely absurd

Literally nobody in the world reaches all the daily values of the nutrients they need.
Do you drink 2 liters of coconut water or eat 4 bananas a day? Ok, you probably don't reach the criteria for potassium.
Do you eat 2-and-a-half cups of spinach each day? Ok, you probably don't reach the criteria for magnesium.
You can literally stuff your stomach full of healthy food from the time you wake up in the morning until the time you fall asleep and you'll probably still be deficient in a nutrient or two.
The only thing the average american reaches their daily value of is saturated fat and sodium
how did people used to survive on bread and water?
what do you think about this?

Cause all that nutrient bullshit is made up by the FDA humans get all the nutrients we need by just eating different food everyday and stuff, people have been surviving for years off bread cause breads like good and stuff

Yeah all those requirements are bullshit. The only way to meet them all would be with handfuls of supplements.
I think you should only be worried about meeting any kind of level would be if you're very clearly lacking something

Potassium is in lots of foods, not just bananas and fruits. It's in potatoes, sweet potatoes, most legumes, yogurt and other dairy, brown sugar, fish and seafood.
Same with magnesium.
If you have a diet rich in whole foods, you'll meet your daily values for sure. Lots of grains have different vitamins and minerals added automatically as a supplement.
Most people get their daily values of nutrients without reading the nutrition facts at all. So long as you're not subsisting on Oreos and Pepsi only you should be good.
I eat pretty well. No need for vitamins if you do. I take vitamin B though occasionally to wake up.

You can get tests done to find your vitamin levels and see if your deficient in anything.
A significant portion of the population probably is low in something especially in the US.

I love cooking, and food in all its varieties. Love the smell of those Onions and garlic when I start a nice cooking sesh.
Take the nutrients as they come. Try to change up the meals and varieties as much as possible.

Yeah I am deficient in vitamin D and potassium. I took D supplements for a while but Zomed cut me off so I have been just coping with being D-ficient a while now.

What is vitamin deficiency like? It's cool I guess. Your doctor prescribes you high D-ose D. I am a drug addict and do not get alot of sun or eat regularly, but all things considered I consider myself pretty lucky as far as health goes. I am not in peak physical condition but really can't complain.

Some deficiencies can lead to other serious issues though, B12 comes to mind. That is the main danger of regular nitrous abuse and in some cases it can be deadly.
Pretty sure its only an issue in extreme cases though and I doubt all vitamins are as bad to be low on. Being super low on them is probably the main issue.
Doesn't being low on vitamin D cause depression allegedly or something? Also maybe some energy issues perhaps? I haven't read up on it in awhile so I am not sure.

I wouldn't really know without the lab results. When you think that many of my ancestors and much of the modern world would have to get by with much less food for much of the time it kind of puts it in perspective.
I would say for an American I have a fairly healthy diet. I eat alot of home cooked food and am not shy with fruits and vegitables or any food group really, but like sheekle says I probably have more fingers than days I have met the daily recommended fruits and veg. Somtimes I will binge on one of the other, and other days I will get by only on processed food.
I can run a couple miles, work all day without physical pain, and do all the things normal people do. Maybe I will die young but I doubt it will be from lack of bananas.

When I'm working, I'm definitely reaching daily levels of vitamins / nutrients. Cook a lot of meals, with a variety of fruits and vegetables thrown in.
When money's low, probably deficient in everything including calories.
