Would it be possible one day to have a pill that would contain all nutrients that a person needs to be healthy

If you dig around some of the survival supply websites you'll discover that products similar to what you describe are already on the market!

A one day pack of mine look like 4 greasy candy bars made from green sawdust and taste like, well, they taste like greasy, sugary, salty algae with a hint of vitamin capsule. ENJOY!
Whoever marked these nitrogen filled, foil lined plastic packs as "Best used before March 2011" was a real prankster! I'm sticking with food as long as possible<VBG>.
