Because you also need :-
1. Oxygen
2. Water
3. Protein
4. Fats
5. Minerals
None of which are to be found in a vitamin pill.
You will notice the list does not say carbohydrates. This is because the body can make carbs from protein (glucogenisis). All the other things though are nutrients.
Now go and eat your dinner like your mum told you to!!

because your body requires protein, fat, and many other substances to keep it going. (your brain in mostly water and fat). only taking vitamins and not food would be like trying to drive a car by only changing the oil and brake fluid but never putting actual gas in it. once it runs out you need more fuel to keep going.

The body is made of different things there is nothing in the market that could substain us. We are not just cells we are energy and minerals. Just like it takes more then one thing to grow plants that substain the earth we just need more.
It would be nice if we could.....simplier.

vitamins could cause kidney stones if you take them over a long period of time on an empty stomach all the time.
