It doesn't stop factory farming from happening, but it decreases the amount of animals slaughtered due to a smaller demand. Think of it this way, if all vegetarians started eating meat again, there would be an immediate increase of the amount of animals slaughtered. If another 10% of the population went vegetarian, roughly 10% less animals would be killed.

Most vegetarians acknowledge that we are all omnivores, and the ones that don't are generally stupid. I've actually done a lot of research on human evolution and dietary habits, and although it's definitely true that we needed meat at a certain point in our evolutionary time-line, eating meat is not currently a necessary condition for our propagation and survival.

The best we can really hope for is the humane killing of animals such that they do not suffer.
And this simply is not viable without the abolishment of factory farming and a massive reconstruction of the agrarian economy.

I definitely won't buy leather or fur clothing. As far as cars, I would try to avoid it, but I wouldn't be opposed to buying a used car with leather seats.
