Genesis 1:29-30 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. And to all the beast of the earth and all the birds of the air and all the creatures that move on the ground—everything that has the breath of life in it---I give every green plant for food." And it was so. [New International translation]
BIBLICAL COMMENTS
The first food diet included green plants. Fruit and green plants were to sustain all animal and human life. Before "the Fall" there did not appear to be any eating of meat. Nor was there any killing of animals. Fruit and green plants alone were sufficient for life.
