Speak plainly. Does your comment above yield that it was permitted for humans to eat milk though, as you said, there was nothing said about milk?

...but animals died, their decaying bodies were removed as we see such bodies removed today; flying carrion birds, scavenger mammals, maggots and underground bugs and worms that dispose of the bone, also. Returning it all to the dust!

Birds, scavenger mammal, maggots, bugs and worms are all part of the animal kingdom, yet as you suggested earlier, there was nothing said about animals eating meat. Yet carrion is meat.

Hence, despite nothing be said explicitly about eating things other than vegetation, other foods were eaten other than vegetation and eating these was neither contrary to creation nor was doing so sin.

It sounds like you agree that meat was a food eaten prior to the flood. According to you, carrion birds, scavenger mammals, maggots, bugs and worms (all these are animals) were eating meat long before the flood.

In the Garden of Eden, meat was not considered as part of the approved edible options, as it did not grow on trees. God, who holds the sacredness of blood due to its association with life, had another reason to prohibit the consumption of meat in this "perfect" paradise. It is important to note that in the rare event of an animal dying within the Garden, it would be respectfully buried. No doubt how Abel was buried after the soul (blood) of Abel screamed out to God.

Adam and Eve were commanded by God to multiply, and this instruction also extended to the animal kingdom. The question arises: in a perfect world, would animals die? While we know that "man" would not, what about animals? This assumption as humans we get from dinosaurs, but would it have been the same thing in a perfect setting?
The question remains pertinent even after the millennial reign, as mankind will return to perfection. At present, the notion of carrion, deceased animals, carcasses, and rotten meat is purely speculative and may stem from a person's hunger.
I've previously mentioned my support for breastfeeding in this forum. Nonetheless, would it have been the sole option for feeding babies in a utopian setting?

The key word here is perfection, which none of the things man has thought of after the expulsion would have been thought of inside the garden.
