I'm vegetarian and only eat free range organic eggs and TRY to only buy organic/bio-dynamic milk. It's pretty much 100% for moral reasons - the meat and fishing industries disgust me. Also the last few times I ate meat it made me really nauseous, so I'm assuming my body doesn't want it anymore. Veganism is only a few steps away but my metabolism just wouldn't allow it.
If you're going vegan I'd highly suggest taking supplements of flaxseed oil (aka omega-3 fatty acids), Vitamin B-12 (or any B-complex) and Vitamin D. Also a lot of leafy green vegetables, nuts and legumes are important for iron and calcium (iron supplements are dodgy since it's possible to overdose).
