Vitamins are a waste of money for 99% of the people who take them, and may even be a detriment to good health. I wouldn't take vitamins unless a doc said I had a deficiency.

^ That's often stated but often false. It's typically followed by a statement like "you can/should just eat a balanced diet to get 100% of your RDA".

The problem is, it's incredibly complex, repetitive, and expensive to execute meals that provide 100% RDA on a constant basis.

It's not a replacement for a healthy diet, but even if it's a placebo, it's a step in the right direction.
