Keith,

I would agree with you that it preferable to get nutrition requirements from whole food sources. Starting at the top of the list you showed a wide range of fortified foods, but by the time whole foods start to show up the levels are pretty far down in Thiamin. Clearly it can be difficult to obtain robust sources of Thiamin just from raw whole food sources, let alone whole unfortified vegetarian sources. Personally, I just take a Super B-complex everyday. It contains 100 mg of Thiamin, which is 6667% of the RDA. It also contains 15mcg of B-12 which is 250% of RDA.
