It was hard to know whether they wanted a literal translation or the jist of the sentence.

You can live on bread alone, but not the thin white stuff they call bread today!! I would say that "Too much bread is sickening" and I think that would make more sense in English.
Oni ne povas vivi per nur pano; oni ricevus skorbuton, kaj onia dentoj forfalus.
I was so confused. I was so sure that there was some weird idiomatic meaning that I was missing
While that's sort of close (as in "you're in the ballpark"), see the post below about the Proverbaro Esperanta - which "hits the nail on the head".

Lysine is an essential amino acid, we humans can't produce it in our bodies from other amino acids either, we have to eat food containing enough of it.

In the movie, the dinosaurs were deliberately given a genetic defect that made them unable to produce lysine. Is it true that they normally can, and we can't?
We may never know for sure, but Wikipedia says (citing a paper that I haven't checked) that no animals synthesise lysine, so it seems very unlikely that they could. (Besides which, there'd be plenty of lysine in the meat that the velociraptors eat.)

It is part of the Proverbaro esperanta http://www.proverbaro.net/.
I understand it as "too much of even something as necessary as bread is unhealthy".
"Excess in everything is harmful."
Or perhaps simply "eating too much is unhealthy".

because "tro da" means "too much". Even a little bit of poison would be too much too eat, it doesn't have to be a lot.

The toxicity is in the dose! Too much water is toxic, a little bit might not be enough to live.
Kial ne, "Naŭ, do ni neniam manĝos panojn", aŭ "Kvincent dudek du, do mi neniam manĝos panojn"? Kial estas "Ok" la plej grava nombro?
