Eating large amounts of vegetables, in the expectation of increasing one's health, is going to go down as the faddiest fad diet in the history of fad diets. While vegetables do deliver some nutrition, there is no real evidence that "more is better". Plants have sophisticated chemical defenses specifically to make themselves less digestible, less nutritious, and dangerous, to consume. By contrast, animals just run away or fight back -- not only do they (generally) lack chemical defenses, their nutrition is easily digestible, and needs no conversion to a form that makes them useful (like vitamin K1 in plants need conversion to K2 -- let your food do your work for you, and eat meat, not kale).

Vegetables, in moderate amounts, probably provide enough nutrition that the costs/risks are outweighed by the benefits. But once a relatively small amount is consumed, it stands to reason that the benefits start to shrink, and the costs rise. Although, properly fermented (as with kraut and kimchi), the risks can be minimized, and we get to digest the byproducts of fermentation which, while not as healthy as animal products, are reasonably beneficial.

The only real "superfood" is head-to-tail consumption of animals.

One huge advantage, though, is that vegetables can make one feel as though they have consumed more food than one has. IF trying to lose weight, cabbage and other rabbit food goes a long way towards keeping the stomach and mind fooled into thinking it has enough calories without the sensation of hunger. A bit of kimchi mellows out the hunger just as well as some things that have 5 times the calories.
