They get around that by pointing out that this recommendation applies to being in Paradise, which is not applicable "on Earth".
The apologetics for biblical veganism are as thin as the ones for biblical socialism (very). If you look at the older parts, you'll see that this God god is very into animal sacrifices and loves BBQ.
Cherry-picking is usually a sign of failure, and that goes in all cases. The best thing to do is to chuck it. Compost it. Dump the whole thing.

Lmao. Meat is a luxury and you scrapped the "wealth items". It was literally one of the biggest status symbols many moons ago. Now people just have the privilege of this luxury.
I'm not Christian but it's quite obvious that as long as it's not survival it would fall under gluttunous. And no it's not survival when you can choose a moral, cheaper and even healthier diet when walking trough a supermarket that has everything you need.
Meat has been a status symbol since civilization started. Cheese came a bit later, but it's also a status symbol. The fact that people treat animal flesh like a staple doesn't make it a staple, it means that those people are blind to their privileges.
