Is becoming a vegetarian/vegan worth it?

 A vegetarian/vegan diet supresses meat, some of them supress milk derivates. Restricting your diet makes you more likely to get deficiencies.

I think it's completely unnatural when your diet is so restrictive that you have to take vitamins to cover deficiencies. If your vegetarian/vegan diet makes you take all your body needs then I think it's ok. But some of the vegan diets are too restrictive, some people need to take vitamins because of them.

Point is, I don't see it as a diet. I just don't eat meat anymore and I make sure I eat varied.

It's perfectly normal, but not really 'natural'. We did evolve as omnivorous hunter-gatherers after all. Not until we developed agriculture could any human tribe have subsisted on vegetables only.
