I think most people base their decision on budget.
If you could get some activists to fight to take away all the subsidies and corporate welfare that make meat cheap, the higher price would move people along faster to eliminating meat from their diets.
Do you think it's only price? It's a lot cheaper to be a vegetarian. I agree about the subsidies, though. (We're working on it!)
My point about 'common sense' was in reference to spiritual or ethical considerations. When a dogma is hardwired, people believe and do things that they otherwise wouldn't.
