RE: The games a good diet can play
Oh damn lord, I then read - excess of Vitamin A in body makes the bones weak.
Could you provide any source which confirms that? :)

umm I have no source of it. Just read it on internet - here and there
The vegetables shouldn't be the reason for your problems ...
You may check my answer to @enginewitty.
But of course nutrition should be rich in variety.
hmmmm
Maybe?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypervitaminosis_A
have to see if that's what she means. Says something about the bones, interpret it how you will.
No, as your own source states: "High intake of provitamin carotenoids (such as beta-carotene) from vegetables and fruits does not cause hypervitaminosis A, as conversion from carotenoids to the active form of vitamin A is regulated by the body to maintain an optimum level of the vitamin. Carotenoids themselves cannot produce toxicity."
Maybe. Honestly couldn't find anything that was documented beyond 'bone pain'.
That's why I asked for a source. :)
Too many things are just claimed from anybody anywhere in the Internet.
I think it's important to verify things (as good as possible) not to spread (unintentionally) misleading information.
Apart from that, of course I agree with @vibesforlife that a healthy nutrition has to be rich in variety.
Hypervitaminosis A
Hypervitaminosis A refers to the toxic effects of ingesting too much preformed vitamin A. Symptoms arise as a result of altered bone metabolism and altered metabolism of other fat-soluble vitamins. Hypervitaminosis A is believed to have occurred in early humans, and the problem has persisted throughout human history.
Toxicity results from ingesting too much preformed vitamin A from foods (such as fish or animal liver), supplements, or prescription medications and can be prevented by ingesting no more than the recommended daily amount.
Diagnosis can be difficult, as serum retinol is not sensitive to toxic levels of vitamin A, but there are effective tests available.
