I didn't read every word of the article but I skimmed it.

http://leiterreports.typepad.com/blog/2012/10/philosophers-eating-ethics.html seems to be the post that had the poll.

The poll had exactly one question. The LessWrong survey had 106. If Leiter would have made a survey with multiple questions, one of those questions would be the amount of academic philosophy education that the respondend got.

We could focus on those people to answer the question whether academic philosophers have different views on being vegan than the general population.

A survey with a lot of questions is also less likely to be the target of meatpuppet voting.
