What are your feelings about eating meat?

In the Bible, we were given every herb bearing seed and every tree bearing fruit for “meat”. All the creatures were given every green herb for meat. (Genesis 1:29-30). Then we became so wicked, mixing and mingling with the sons of God, and making “men of old” and whatnot; God said we would only live for 120 years after that. (Genesis 6:3). Then the flood happened, and God commissioned Noah to build the ark. After the waters receded he told Noah and his family to go forth and repopulate the planet and they have the green herb and “every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you”, said God. Then he also goes on to say “but flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof shall ye not eat.” (Genesis 9:3-4)

So my feelings about eating meat depend on the “meat” in question? Is it “green herb”, “every moving thing”, or “flesh with the life thereof”?

Green herb- veganism- those that followed this diet lived for 800 years. That’s cool, but we grieved God so much he flooded us out.

“every moving thing”- eating other species on the planet is assumed to make us live for 120 years, which doesn’t grieve God as much. And I like bacon and chicken tenders.

“flesh with the life thereof”- not only is it generally/morally frowned upon, but cannibalism is biblically frowned upon… As well.

And those are my feelings about eating meat.
