Vegan meals do not help to stall climate change, especially those consisting of soy-based alternatives. This is a marketing ploy by soy producers who profit by shifting public focus to meat and away from monocropping and agricultural emissions from monocrop cultivation. In addition to the fact that very few people have even seen, much less worked with, livestock being grazed and harvested outside of a CAFO and you have an effective marketing strategy that is “natural” enough to justify selling a single meal for more than most people make in an hour.

Do you honestly believe it is possible to solve this from the consumer side? We can't even make people stop eating themselves to death! You might get a small fraction to consume less but that wont save the environment. "Every little bit counts", no it really doesn't, it might buy us a few years and let the rest pollute even more before things are so bad that we start enforcing laws to stop them but ultimately those laws will be there, so all you achieved was making life a bit cushier for people who don't care.

No, on its own these things aren’t a solution, but collectively we are able to add to pressures on businesses to adapt their behaviours.

All of the things you listed do _nothing_ but lower your quality of life.

That depends what for you constitutes quality of life. For me switching energy suppliers saved me money. Becoming vegan introduced habits that are proving to have a positive effect on my health. Cycling to work keeps me doing cardio regularly and it halves my commute time.
