Does anti-keto, pro-plant get any worse than this?

Before the fall there was no death. After the fall there was the sacrifice of the animals for the clothing. My understanding is meat wasn’t really permitted until after the flood. In Genesis 10 it says: And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth. [2] And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth upon the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are they delivered. [3] Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things.

The why is speculative. I’ve heard different theories. Perhaps the need for a different diet following a big change in the earth’s atmosphere, following a world catastrophic flood, climate change. It’s not specificity said why.
Life expectancy went way down according to the geneologys afterwards as well.

Thanks! Will have to go back and read again. And I was the county bible verse champ at 13! :rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl: It’s been a while.

I thought the post mentioning the “two diet protocols” was a reference to Genesis, where Abel’s offering of first-born animals finds favor with God, but Cain’s offering of the first fruits of his garden is rejected. We all know what happened after that!

I guess there’s been bad blood between vegetarians and meat-eaters ever since. . . .

Genesis 1:29 vegetarian Then Genesis 9.1 through 5

Is that the translation, like Genesis 1:29 KJV?

Yes, and after the flood meat was allowed. Nothing to do with Cain and Abel.

I obviously don’t care - I will continue to eat meat - just find it interesting that a major religious document would switch things up like that. It goes back and forth. Some religious figures thrived on veggies, others were told to eat meat.

New project here - will reread all from a dietary point of view. Haven’t read the entire bible in a few years - it should be eye-opening.
