It's like saying recycling is useless because no one recycles. You have to start somewhere

Recycling is useless because the process takes more energy than mining new except for a few select materials. It’s a feel good exercise in wastefulness.

(I hardly eat meat these days, but nothing will help if the population continues to grow at the same rate)

Strong statement - any data to back it up?

Correct, I think it would be more effective having this change on a production level where farmers and scientists possibly work together to make meat production more sustainable by for example beter utilizing and extending grass lands in barren regions. Trick is to not make the meat more expensive...

I would disagree. There is a benefit to keeping these materials out of a landfill.
Saying we should just throw everything into a landfill because that uses the least energy is not considering the other benefits of diverting waste from the landfill.
