But we're not cars, see? I'll go back to the nutrients, etc. When you don't eat a balanced diet, your body doesn't have the materials it needs to operate normally (or optimally).

You'd have to look at it this way to be a bit more accurate:

McDiet with no exercise would be those who only fuel up their cars when they run low on gas, and maybe fix a thing or two when things go wrong.
Balanced diet with exercise would be those who use high-octane gas; perform oil changes on schedule, using only high-quality products and changing the oil filter if necessary; rotate tires regularly, using top-quality radials; keep their air-filter clean, ensuring to replace it when necessary; periodically check for rust, and doing maintenance to prevent it; check their belts, and replace them when they show signs of wear; check other fluids, cables, etc., etc.

Which car would run better on the same amount of gas? Which car would get further?
