Most veggie sausage is made from soy and/or wheat proteins, and there's not much in the way of vegetables in them. You really do need to eat your vegetables. I'm a bit of a fussy eater myself, and many veggies have to be cooked right for me to eat them. There's nothing wrong with putting veggies in lots of sauce (as long as it isn't a creamy sauce) on top of whole wheat pasta or eating vegetable soups. Stir-fry dishes are also good. Start off with minced vegetable nests (if your local Asian place has them) and work up to actual veggie-rich stir-fries. No, but they are a good substitute for meat.

Just don't think the only way to prepare them is to boil them to death. You can saute them, chop them into fried rice or bulgur wheat or couscous, bread them and deep fry them a la tempura, and many, many other things. Get a good cookbook and try things out.

They're also usually kind of heavy on the additives. So, no. They aren't a replacement for vegetables, let alone a good replacement. Vegetarian sausages are typically made of grains and/or legumes.

If not then no, you have to find other vegetables that are good in those vitamins or check w/ your doctor and maybe try a suppliment.

For the most part, the veggie burgers/sausages are intended to replace meat, not vegetables. They are high in protein, so I'm guessing you'll still want to eat some veggies. However, they are excellent in place of pork sausage - much less fattening and actual contain healthy nutrients.

You are correct that you need lots of vegetables to be healthy. Science is only recently understanding the importance of vegetables. Try experimenting with lots of different colour groups of veggies. You can slice them raw with dips, or roast them on the grill. Incorporate them in soups & sauces. You can even get them in drinks (V8). Fruits are just as important as sources of fibre & antioxidants. They are a substitute for meat protein; not a vegetable source.
