Exactly what technologies are you referring to? Vegetarianism is a natural
and sustainable diet that has been practised way before the industrial
revolution. Even as a vegan the only supplement really required is vitamin
B12 in trace amounts, and this is because we wash and peel vegetables these
days and B12 is found in the "contamination" on the outside as vegetables.

Of course, just like lots of extropians vegetarians may take extra
supplements to be on the safe side.
