Before the Fall
Gen. 1:29-31
Then God said, “I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. 30And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds in the sky and all the creatures that move along the ground—everything that has the breath of life in it—I give every green plant for food.” And it was so.
31God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning—the sixth day.
After the Fall/Flood
Gen. 9:1-3
And God blessed Noah and his sons and said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth. 2“The fear of you and the terror of you will be on every beast of the earth and on every bird of the sky; with everything that creeps on the ground, and all the fish of the sea, into your hand they are given. 3“Every moving thing that is alive shall be food for you; I give all to you, as I gave the green plant.
When Adam and Eve were created, it was on the sixth day (1:31God saw all that He had made,and behold, it was very good) God created the animals as companion to man but there was no help found in them (2:18 Then the LORD God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone; I will make him a helper suitable for him.” 19Out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the sky, and brought them to the man to see what he would call them.... but for Adam there was not found a helper suitable for him)
God didn't created the animals as food, but as companion sort if like pets. This is how Eden looked like, peaceful; where death and sin didn't reign. So its safe to assume that God intended for us to be vegetarians but when Adam and Eve sinned, everything came toppling down. Man and animal are no longer eternal; before sin came into play Adam and Eve didn't aged (3:22And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever....therefore the LORD God sent him out from the garden of Eden)
Before Adam and Eve sinned, the body was perfect, it was low maintenance.
I think that covers it.
Gen 9:1-3 is self explanatory
