Romans are stuffing their faces with cacio e pepe and guanciale asking "what's a vegetable?" Oh yeah, the appetizer.
Urban Romans also tend to walk a lot more than the typical American does, and as it turns out, walking every day is extremely effective at combating weight gain and diabetes.
Walking doesn't give you vitamins and fiber that you need from vegetables. That's what this conversation is about: food.
If they were deficient in those nutrients they'd have higher rates of metabolic disease than they do.
Walking is part of the Mediterranean diet which os what OP is actually talking about, even if they are not aware of it
