Yes it does. Fuck, am I debating 12 year old smartasses again?!
The comment points out the single most effektive move an individal without political nor financial power can make to cut personal co2-emissions with just a change of habit.

those are emissions from production.

Producing that meat does.
Note that the commenter didn’t say to quit all eating meat. They just said to quit eating “factory farmed” meat.
It’s not about eating meat, it’s about factory farming the meat and the damage to the environment caused by it.

… right. but your personal consumption doesn’t change industrial output.

If you are spending money on factory farmed meat, you are financing the industry. It’s not that complicated.

regardless of what i (or you) spend my (or your) money on, the industry continues to grow. if i get hit by a bus today on my way home from work and die, the meat industry, i guarantee you, will not notice. they will continue to grow, producing more meat this year than last, and more next year than this.
