In the biblical narrative of Eden, the world before the Fall is described as a perfect, death-free environment where both humans and animals lived on a fruitarian or herbivorous diet.
The Original Diet
- Human Diet: According to Genesis 1:29, God originally instructed Adam and Eve to eat "every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it".
- Animal Diet: This plant-based lifestyle extended to all creatures; Genesis 1:30 states that "every green plant" was given as food to every beast, bird, and creature that moves along the ground.
- Lack of Death: Because there was no sin, there was no death, disease, or decay. This implies that even what we now consider carnivores originally survived without hunting or consuming flesh.
