Eat good meals and you do not need vitamen supplements, in fact they can be harmful. People who eat them like candy are in danger of over-dosing.

Eat a decent diet, you will be fine. I’m far from vegan, I eat lots of meat along with plenty of veggies, I’m fond of brussel sprouts and lima beans, but whatever suits your taste.

Copied from an article

As noted by Orthomolecular Medicine News Service, Americans easily take more than 60 billion doses of nutritional supplements every year, and with zero related deaths this is an outstanding safety record:

"Well over half of the U.S. population takes daily nutritional supplements. Even if each of those people took only one single tablet daily, that makes 165,000,000 individual doses per day, for a total of over 60 billion doses annually. Since many persons take far more than just one single vitamin or mineral tablet, actual consumption is considerably higher, and the safety of nutritional supplements is all the more remarkable.

Over 60 billion doses of vitamin and mineral supplements per year in the USA, and not a single fatality. Not one. If vitamin and mineral supplements are allegedly so "dangerous," as the FDA and news media so often claim, then where are the bodies?"

In striking contrast, drugs are known to cause well over 125,000 deaths per year when taken correctly as prescribed – yet the FDA allows "fast-track" approvals and countless new additions to the marketplace. So why are dietary supplements on the chopping block?

I think most vegans are liberals. This biggest motive, thought they wll not admit it, is trying to “out liberal” one of their friends.
