we don't hear of adam and eve eating meat in the garden.
I just thought I'd mention that there was a very interesting article
about meat eating and religion in the Vegetarian Times a while back. For one
thing, it mentioned that all the trouble in preparing meat and keeping Kosher
in Judaism may have been intended to make it clear that you are taking the
life of an animal and that it should be a bit more of a deal than popping open
a cellophane container.
I can (probably) dig the article up if anyone is interested.

P.S. Just in case no one has mentioned it to this group (I've lost track of
what I hear where) the Vegetarian Resource Group has their homepage up
and running: http://www.umanitoba.ca/arrs/VRG/home.html
