29 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. 30 And 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.
So, if you use the Bible as your moral authority, you have to use it all I would think.

WOW! I guess that takes care of the biblical quoting folk puffing up that we have dominion over the other creatures so that means we can eat them. Thank you so much for that BarryRX.
