That is certainly true 
However, animal flesh was not officially given for food until after the flood. Before that, fruit and seed bearing plants and tress as well as herbs were given for food. Gen 1:29-30 (pre flood)
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 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.
Post flood (Genesis 9)
God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.
And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth upon the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are they delivered.
Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things.

So it seems that even animals were vegetarians before the flood. After that, following the great cleansing, animal flesh was given for food. Is that when animals started eating other animals? It is an interesting question because people often bring up the matter of animal compatibility on the ark, but if it is true that none ate meat until after the flood, then that would not be an issue Of course the world and all creation was already fallen, but in the world to come, all animals will again peacefully co-exist, without fear of one another, including humans.

Ben, this is so tedious! Don't you think I have tried every diet and quack nostrum? They don't work! I have eaten healthy most of my life, except the brief time my husband made me eat like him. (He remains incredibly healthy, despite lack of exercise and a penchant for chemicals and sugar!) Any evidence these diets work is placebo effect. In other words, all in their heads!
These diets don't work, and there are no double blind studies to show any diets work for RA. It is all anecdotal. It also defies the understanding of what autoimmune diseases are!
My sister used to wake up with cramps in her hands and tightening due to arthritis, and within days of removing lectins from her diet she wakes up with no tightening or cramping. This isn't placebo, she just tried it. Out of 800 patients in a study where they removed lectins from their diet, all 800 resolved their auto-immune disease. All. Those results with just placebo? I think not. Surely there was a skeptic amongst them, and yet healed.
I think it is very important. Mosaic Law has a law of animal husbandry.
4 You shall not muzzle an ox while it is treading out the grain.
And Solomon says the righteous, us, know how to treat animals well
Proverbs 12:10 The righteous know the needs of their animals,
but the mercy of the wicked is cruel.

Don't know how you can cut it out of your diet...

It seems to be in most foods.

Food Science disagrees with you here and in spades. My wife was diagnosed with RA in both knees, the xrays showed it and everything. The medical doctors immediately started pharmaceutical therapies. They also wanted her to go to counseling to prepare her for sitting in a wheel chair the rest of her life. She took the info to our Chiropractor. He confirmed the RA and said it was very aggressive and would cripple her. He then told her not to eat any rices, grains, pasta, bread, flours, GMO based anything, certain dairy products, no more processed anything.
Only fresh veggies/ fruits, certain raw nuts and lean proteins, including copious amounts of humus and filtered water.
Her RA disappeared completely in 52 days, she lost over 45 lbs, and took off over 500lbs of pressure of her knees.
The medical doctors were stumped, expect for one dietician on her Dr's staff.
If I eat any kind of grain products I bloat up and my hands hurt. If I stay clear of them, I am fine.

Gen 1.29-31
[SUP]29 [/SUP]Then God said, “Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the surface of all the earth, and every tree which has fruit yielding seed; it shall be food for you; [SUP]30 [/SUP]and to every beast of the earth and to every bird of the sky and to every thing that moves on the earth which has life, I have given every green plant for food”; and it was so. [SUP]31 [/SUP]God saw all that He had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.
Animals were not created by God for Food. They were created to be Adams help meet, before God saw they were unsuited to be Adams help meet and he created woman
Gen 2.18-20
[SUP]18 [/SUP]Then the Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone; I will make him a helper suitable for him.” [SUP]19 [/SUP]Out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the sky, and brought them to the man to see what he would call them; and whatever the man called a living creature, that was its name. [SUP]20 [/SUP]The man gave names to all the cattle, and to the birds of the sky, and to every beast of the field, but for Adam there was not found a helper suitable for him
After the flood God made the animals afraid of human kind and gave them for humans to eat. In this passage God shows us that only green plants were for food before the flood.
Gen 9.1-5
9 And God blessed Noah and his sons and said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth. [SUP]2 [/SUP]The fear of you and the terror of you will be on every beast of the earth and on every bird of the sky; with everything that creeps on the ground, and all the fish of the sea, into your hand they are given. [SUP]3 [/SUP]Every moving thing that is alive shall be food for you; I give all to you, as I gave the green plant. [SUP]4 [/SUP]Only you shall not eat flesh with its life, that is, its blood. [SUP]5 [/SUP]Surely I will require your lifeblood; from every beast I will require it. And from every man, from every man’s brother I will require the life of man.

Meat was consumed prior to the Flood,
however it was for reasons of evil rather than survival.
The ancient Greeks, et al, didn't invent their religions out of thin air.
They were based on the true history of the antediluvian world.
Gen. 6:12
And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt;
for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.
