I would suspect that a person willing to give up all meat for $11 a year is probably already eating less meat than a person who would demand much higher amounts of money.
The $11 is via placing pay-per-click ads on facebook that get people to go to a page where ideally they become shocked and outraged at our treatment of animals. As far as we can tell these new vegetarians were eating like normal Americans before they saw the videos.
I suspect they were not. People who have a more entrenched habit requiring greater life alteration to change it are less likely to give it up.
Of the people I've known who went vegetarian, I don't think any of them went from being big meat eaters to totally abstaining in a single step.
I did that, although I don't really qualify for "people you've known."
I used to eat a lot of chicken and eggs before I read Peter Singer. After that, I went cold turkey (pardon the expression).
