Certainly not.
How do you reduce demand?
By becoming vegetarian.

That is probably the most basic rule of the market: no demand = no offer, or at least no offer that will remain for long. The shelves would be bare of meat within weeks if no one would buy it. So to say turning vegetarian is dumb because the meat is there is, well...
You're mixing micro and macro economics, it's JUST YOU as a vegan, the meat producers won't say "Oh god, Schroeder isn't eating meat, we need to reduce our production"
