Actually, I checked on snopes.com to verify the story about the higher insurance for meat eaters. The snopes cannot find it in the databank. This article is a false story. The author must have made up her story to write it. tsk tsk tsk.
You should have gone straight to the source instead of Snopes.com.

I checked the PETA website itself. The story is valid.

Read below:

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA): The animal rights organization
