It they really are trace minerals, it probably means that you are consuming immense amounts of disastrously bad foods, or at least foods that you should not be consuming in such huge amounts. You are wasting resources that should be going to many, many more people. It could also mean that you are seriously poisoning yourself with minerals that should NOT be present in your body in amounts larger than 'trace'. You can dangerously overeat even foods that would otherwise be good for you.

What is the difference between a macro-mineral and a trace element?
A macro mineral is needed in large quantities whereas trace elements are minerals required in small quantities

What kind of mineral is a Diamond?

IRON.
What are the characteristic that define a mineral?
Nutritionists use the term macromineral to describe the minerals your body needs in large amounts, such as calcium and magnesium. Minerals needed in only small amounts, generally less than 20 milligrams per day, are called trace minerals.Iron, Zinc, Manganese, Copper, Fluoride, Molybdenum, Iodine, Chromium and Selenium are trace minerals.
What are the 2 main groups of minerals in food?
The minerals found in food can be categorized into two groups; macrominerals, and trace minerals. Macrominerals are usually found in large quantities in food, and are required in larger quantities for the body. Trace minerals are found in small amounts in food, and are needed in smaller amounts in the diet. Macrominerals: Sodium, potassium, chloride, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, sulfur. Trace minerals: Iron, zinc, iodide, selenium, copper, fluoride, chromium, molybdenum, manganese.
