Yes - which includes vegetables. Humans can generally survive indefinitely on an all-meat diet.

> "Do i really need this vegetable" yes

No.

So, your general statement is correct, but you missed the basic fact that vegetables also fall into the category of "mostly unnecessary" things - so, my point stands.
