The basic test would be to ask people what they actually would do differently when they would hold different beliefs.

If I would believe that everybody should eat vegan I would eat a different diet.

The issue of 2) Everybody should be vegan. is one that I listed as an example of a meaningful issue because it drives choices I make in my life. It's meaningful because I can point to the effect it has on my life to think differently about the issue.

The questions that you posed don't fall into that class.
