Most of the energy in food goes to maintaining the metabolism of the animal that eats it and is dissipated as heat. Only a small proportion of the food goes to make the body of the animal so it can in turn be eaten by another. The millions of wildebeest in the Serengeti do not support a population of millions of lions and hyenas for exactly this reason. In any balanced ecosystem, the prey outnumber the predators.

Thanks for the info Kings. I was joking with my previous comment though. I mean seriously, who's going to eat 12 vego meals full stop really?
