If god says it is ok to eat meat, why can’t I
No religion says you should eat animals. Some religions say it is ok if you need to, but not that you have to.
Perhaps in those times people may have needed to eat animal products because there were limited choices in that geography. But we have progressed so much as a society. We use cars instead of walking, we can fly, we perform life saving transplant operations and more things that might have been considered strange when the scriptures were written.
The most important thing to remember is the essence of a teaching. A kind, merciful god would never want you to torture another living creature, drive extinction, and destroy the planet when you absolutely do not have to.
