First of all I'm neither a vegan nor a complete vegetarian.
Nothing will change just because I stop eating meat. But if I stop and the guy next door stops and his grandmother stops etc the demand for meat is lowered and that means less production of meat since there are no buyers for the original quantity (unless some strange subsidies laws allow you to get tons of money for burning your cattle after slaughtering it...) .
You could just as well say voting is dumb because your single vote won't change anything. But if the guy next door votes for the same party and his grandmother votes and.... then you might change something.

I'm not concerned about the dioxin. It's just the way how it could get into the fodder that is disgusting.
