But less life will probably have to die in order to sate you if you're a vegan, if you add up the food that the livestock would have to eat (most of the calories that a herbivore animal will eat will not be translated into calories for the animal that is going to eat that herbivore; last I saw only 10% of the calories consumed carries over to the next animal).

Unless the livestock is grass-fed or something... I don't think anyone is that concerned with the life of grass.
