I talked with a Buddhist about this a few times and he offered up the  
idea that, if you accept this idea for argument's sake, that to get  
enough sustenance from plants, you have to eat more. So karmically, if  
you're killing things anyway, you get more bang for your buck (so to  
speak) eating meat.

Please understand I offer this up as I offer most things...tongue in  
cheek. Bwaaahahahahahahaha. Bad pun.
