Rom 8:18 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed to us.
Rom 8:19 For the creation is eagerly awaiting the revelation of God's children,
Rom 8:20 because the creation has become subject to futility, though not by anything it did. The one who subjected it did so in the certainty
Rom 8:21 that the creation itself would also be set free from corrupting bondage in order to share the glorious freedom of God's children.
Rom 8:22 For we know that all the rest of creation has been groaning with the pains of childbirth up to the present time.
Rom 8:23 However, not only the creation, but we who have the first fruits of the Spirit also groan inwardly as we eagerly await our adoption, the redemption of our bodies.
What do you think about these scriptures trofimus?

I do not think they would be allowed to eat eggs of other creatures in the thinking of young Earth proponents... and vegetarians do eat eggs, right? So probably something between those two terms 
The Bible actually does not state that the first animals or people were not eating meat.
"Now Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.
And in the process of time it came to pass that Cain brought an offering of the fruit of the ground to the Lord.
Abel also brought of the firstborn of his flock and of their fat.
And the Lord respected Abel and his offering."
Also notice that Noah took into ark both clean and unclean animals. This distinction is made because of diet.

You say the Bible does not state that animals or people were not eating meat, but neither does it state that they were, and that is important, because what actually is stated and has been repeated over and over again is the fact that only vegetation was given to all creatures as food until after the flood. Both man and animals were vegetarians originally, and both will be vegetarians ultimately.
"God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so." (See Genesis 1:29-30) Notice that this food itself is called meat, even though it is not from animals
The distinction made between clean and unclean animals must be more than diet, because all scaled and finned fish are acceptable as food, and yet they are carnivores that eat unclean animals. Diet may be a large factor, though. Do you have any Scriptures that elucidate the reason for distinction beyond cud chewing and split hoof?
Here is a list of clean and unclean foods

Why??? Who wants to open the door to the devil to start tempting one's self to consider other religions and satan muddies the waters leading the masses into the ecumenical movement where everyone believes we all serve the same god and there are many ways unto salvation?
Why not just start off with and stay with the truth in God's Word that Jesus is the only Way unto Salvation and all else is garbage???
God never changes, so if He "released" that after the flood then it was His plan all along.
Jesus ate fish, so we know eating animals is not a sin.
Plus... did anyone post this yet???
1 Timothy 4:14
Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;
Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.
For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving:
Got scripture for that?
I went out and checked... none of the trees in my yard have any meat on them...
