We can get all of the vitamins and nutrients we need by eating a variety of fruits, vegetables, beans, nuts, and grains.

Vegans (not vegetarians) need to ensure a reliable source of vitamin B12, such as a supplement or fortified soymilks.

Answer 3

The American Dietetic Association (ADA) has stated that "appropriately planned vegetarian diets are healthful, nutritionally adequate and provide health benefits in the prevenstion and treatment of certain diseases".

Vegetarians should consume adequate amounts of fruits and vegetables such as legumes, soy products like tofu and tempeh, whole and enriched grains, nuts, seeds, dairy and eggs (unless you are vegan), dark and leafy greens, split peas, kelp, seaweed, olive oil and canola oil.

This is a cursory list and a more detailed discussion can be obtained by accessing the website below which can be used as an everyday guide to vegetarian diets.

Vegetarians can eat, fruits, grains, legumes, herbs.



Some people no matter what have to take multivitamins and other supplements simply because they can't get the nutrients from their food or can't properly absorb and use some them.
