Hum, every chain in the food web "wastes" energy and that reduction is highly significant. If you want to trivialize that, alright, in biology it's fairly basic stuff and I also have a course in resource management. If you wanna be ignorant for the sake of ignorance, I doubt I can change your mind.
However, you're right that without meat, it will be harder to get all the amino acids that we need, but of course you could still eat meat. You could supplement a diet consisting mostly of vegetables with the occasional meat and you could be an aware consumer, taking care to eat beans and such to get the nutrients you need.
Buying a steak at a store is really a privilege, not a right. If you wanna excercise some natural right to kill and eat, I suggest you go out there, kill something and cook it.
