Veggies are mainly for nutritional value. They are just plain healthy for you, and they provide your body with tons of fiber (ie no constipation).
Have a serving of veggies with every meal if you can!

It's odd how working out just becomes a habit. I've gone more to the gym now than I ever did in my life. I used to have a gym basically 5-10 minutes from me at any of the places I've lived in my life. Now, I have to take a bus in -18 weather, walk 20 minutes from the bus stop to get to the gym. Walk back to the bus stop and wait 20 minutes for the bus. Yet, I've been doing this no problem everyday. My workouts are still kind of weak tho =/ It is hard to push yourself when you don't have a workout partner.

I heard PF doesn't have power racks and they don't allow people to deadlift??

Theres pull up bars and dip stations in PF. You could also squat via a Smith Machine.
For a beginner its fine. You only develop bad habits if you dont know what you are doing, if you can work with what youve got you can still get a good workout at PF. Atleast if yours has a Smith Machine.
I was a member briefly and right before I quit, they got rid of their power towers, so there were no pull ups bars or dip bars at all in the gym. Smith machine squatting is nowhere near the same as free weight squats.
A beginner can outgrow the gym very quickly. If your'e going more for conditioning, I could see the light weights being useful, but for those who want to get significantly stronger in lifts other than the bench press, planet fitness is not for you. I remember seeing notes saying that deadlifts, cleans, etc. are all not allowed at PF.
Nutrition is more than just calories and macronutrient ratios. Fiber, vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients, etc. are all crucial to overall health and can certainly aid in recovery. They are very crucial. If you don't eat any, recovery may suffer, immune function might be somewhat suppressed, and other symptoms of vitamin/mineral deficiency. I try to eat a salad daily. That, plus some cooked brocolli, mushrooms, onions, garlic, bell peppers, etc. whenever I feel like it. Like Joe said, aim for a variety.
Stick with it. Don't quit because you get bored. Make sure you eat enough. It's a solid program and you should see great gains.

What exactly does deadlifting work out on?
Im guessing your core and legs?

Posterior chain and core.
Hoist actually makes a smith machine that has vertical tracks and horizontal tracks. Its a pretty smart idea.

theres a smith machine like that at the gym i go to. cant deadlift on it though. plates dont reach the floor and the bar slides all over the place. maybe the one you are specifically talking about is better.

Took two weeks to figure out my routine/get my meal right and today was my first day back in the gym .
at how weak I've become.
Dumb question but can you just drink V8 instead of eating vegetables?
And does it really matter what type of multivitamin you take?

I think it's about time I mixed my routine up. I saw some solid gains doing my current workout, but I'm starting to plateau so I'm going to change it up a little.
Going from:
-DB Incline press
-DB Shoulder press, neutral grip
-Deadlift
-Squat
-Underhand rows
-Extended weighted arm circles
To:
-DB bench press
-Arnold press
-Deadlift
-Squat
-Overhand rows
Let's see how far this gets me. Next plateau, I'm going to go straight for fat loss.

Haven't been in here in a while. Good to see it's still going strong!
I hurt my AC joint about a month ago, and it's still bothering me...super hard to find the motivation to workout now since so many exercises aggravate it and I can't train like I want to.
