Sure, but if it where proven that on the average the person who's 30 lbs 
overweight is responsible for 4 times the number of deaths of animals 
(because he eats more), wouldn't it be more ethical to be of ideal body 
weight?

You seem to be saying it's impossible to live a lifestyle that involves 
killing less (and is thus more ethical) or that it's not a worthy goal.  But 
it is a worthy goal.

The antivegetarians here are so brainwashed that they won't admit that 
wearing a fur coat made of many little animals is unethical since they feel 
"the synthetic coat causes more collateral deaths."  This is really playing 
with the numbers.

What about people who use a lot of resources to hunt animals for sport (not 
food), or attend bullfights, etc.  Where is your outrage?
