100% veggie here for at least 15 years now.
Unfortunately I have nothing really to add to the spiritual level of vegetarianism, I started doing it for a girl, and just never stopped. Sometimes fools in stores sell vegetarians products with meat in them because they can't see the difference between their own products. It's like finding a finger in your pasta.
So that's the honest reason why I stick to it, the thought of eating an animal makes me sick much like the thought of eating raw squid would probably make everyone else sick.
It's cheaper, it's sustainable, your risk of diseases and food poisoning are suddenly much much lower. All in all there's really no excuse for me to start eating it. It's not as if I want to.
I haven't actually taken care to "properly" adjust my diet... I just eat what I can and I don't think about the contents or balances or all that complicated stuff. I had absolutely no problems ever. That whole "we need meat" simply doesn't apply to me. And to be honest I don't think it applies to anyone.
My philosophy is that if you eat what you crave you'll get what you need.
You might have to show your body alternative sources first though.
