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).
