You know- to tell you the truth, I've been a vegetarian for thirteen years or so and I've never really worried about vitamins/minerals. I don't take a suppliment (keep forgetting to), and I don't worry about it, but I eat healthy and I've never had any deficiencies. I have an extremely high iron count- which suprised my doctor. From a nutritional standpoint, being a vegetarian has only been good- my family suffers from high cholesteral, both my dad and sister are on drugs for it, and though mine is borderline, it's never crossed into bad because I don't eat much saturated fat at all. Of course some people don't get the right vitamins at all who are vegetarians- I call those "Dorito Vegetarians," there's plenty of junk food that's vegetarian! But that's true for meat eaters as well. Just depends on what you eat within either group!
