I mean technically you could survive on rat poison for the rest of your life. But as far as I’m aware there is no single food item that provides all the nutrients, fats, and calories a body needs.

Sweet potatoes have everything you need I think but youd have to eat like 40 sweet potaoes in one day to get all you need well according to "standards". Also the quality of the sweet potatoes come into play. Poorly grown sweet potatoes don't taste very good and have a low nutrition content.
