"Vegetables are low in fat and calories. They also provide fiber, vitamins (such as vitamins A and C and folate) and minerals. Different vegetables are good sources of different nutrients. Eat a variety of vegetables. Include dark-green leafy vegetables (spinach, romaine, kale, mustard greens, collard greens, turnip greens), deep-yellow vegetables (carrots, sweet potatoes, yellow squash), and legumes (navy, pinto, kidney, chickpeas, etc.) several times each week. (Legumes can count either as a vegetable or can be used in place of meat.)" As stated at: http://www.healthgoods.com/Education/nutrition_information/Food_Groups/why_vegetables_important.htm
Eating fruits and vegetables is important because they have minerals and vitamins in them that you need to be healthy and live. For example sailors in the olden days sometimes died of a disease called "scurvey" because they didn't have fruits on their long voyages. But the most important reason to eat fruits and vegetable is because they taste so good.
