You changing your diet will not have that big of an impact, you're right. Just like your vote won't sway an election. In aggregate, these things matter. In the U.S., over 9% [1] of the population follows a vegetarian/vegan diet. That absolutely has an impact on how much beef/chicken/pork is produced.

Not in the short term - again, the lead time of beef is years. And so on.

Lead time for climate change has been years too. Unfortunately almost nobody cared.
