I would think the key would be removing the subsidies to the livestock industry. If a burger at Five Guys cost $20, there'd be a lot more vegans...

The subsidies wouldn't create more vegans in my view but it would reduce overall meat consumption. If you look at countries with higher meat costs (relative to income) you see that most have lower per capita meat consumption but they don't necessarily have higher incidence of vegans.
