That's blatantly ignorant. To give a few obvious examples: Changes in metabolism, bigger life changes like puberty and menopause, obviously pregnancy - these all change your dietary needs.

I do not think these things happen on a regular basis.
They happen to everyone at least twice in their life! Some people dozens of times! How common do they need to be for you to believe that messing up nutrition is problematic? It can literally kill people!
If you're going to argue that all the nutritional changes can be accounted for, I won't disagree with you. But to argue that people's dietary needs don't change is just uninformed.
