Too Many Veggies?

I feel  like this is a stupid question but I wanted to ask anyway. Is there such a thing as eating too many veggies? I know it says to eat 4 1/2 cups of veggies a day but I was counting it and we eat more than that a day.

The only way you would be eating too many veggies is if you ate nothing else. Be sure to get your protein, dairy, fruit and grains too. The veggie rule is a minimum of 4-1/2 cups per day.

Is it really important to eat the full 3 servings of grains/starch a day? Couldn't 2 servings be adequate enough?

I know you eat a lot of the Morningstar products...keep in mind that they are considered a protein, not a veggie, in case you're include those in your veggie counts.
