I think one of the major problems with this proposal is that nobody actually does it.
I spent a few months doing this, so that if I spent X euros on animal products, I would donate X euros to animal welfare charities at the end of the month.
I plan to resume doing so once my monetary situation looks better (also making a bigger one-off donation to “pay off” the time during which I didn’t maintain that practice).
I don’t know of anyone who has actually tested this at all.
I downgraded from full vegetarianism (and an attempt at full veganism) due to the amount of willpower and occasional well-being it was costing me, especially when battling with depression at the same time.
