Fats are necessary to promote the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins; A, D, E, and K. Fats come from many sources including plant oils, nuts, wheat germ, among others. Vegetarians can consume adequate fats without eating meat. Most fats, especially poly- and monounsaturated fats, are stable at room temperature.
