Based on your reasoning, we are to eat only herbs and vegetables. For that was God's law in the beginning. You have repeatedly mentioned that the first sacrifice was in the garden when The Lord made skins to cover Adam and Eve. That the law of Moses was still to be kept. That we are to keep God's law concerning food.
Genesis 2:9 - Before the fall
9 And out of the ground the Lord God made every tree grow that is pleasant to the sight and good for food. The tree of life was also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
Genesis 3:17-23
17 Then to Adam He said, "Because you have heeded the voice of your wife, and have eaten from the tree of which I commanded you, saying, 'You shall not eat of it': "Cursed is the ground for your sake; In toil you shall eat of it All the days of your life. 18 Both thorns and thistles it shall bring forth for you, And you shall eat the herb of the field. 19 In the sweat of your face you shall eat bread Till you return to the ground, For out of it you were taken; For dust you are, And to dust you shall return." 20 And Adam called his wife's name Eve, because she was the mother of all living. 21 Also for Adam and his wife the Lord God made tunics of skin, and clothed them. 22 Then the Lord God said, "Behold, the man has become like one of Us, to know good and evil. And now, lest he put out his hand and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live forever"-- 23 therefore the Lord God sent him out of the garden of Eden to till the ground from which he was taken.
The truth of the matter is - Therefore, my brethren, you also have become dead to the law through the body of Christ, that you may be married to another--to Him who was raised from the dead, that we should bear fruit to God.
For the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy peace, gentleness, faithfulness, kindness and self control, against such there is no law.
For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.
For one believes he may eat all things, but he who is weak eats only vegetables.
Do you have faith? Have it to yourself before God. Happy is he who does not condemn himself in what he approves. 23 But he who doubts is condemned if he eats, because he does not eat from faith; for whatever is not from faith is sin.
Eat healthy. Be happy.
Don't try to convince people to keep the law of Moses.
Rather, strive to be filled with The Spirit and walk with God.

Excellent post, very encouraging and truthful, but unfortunately some seem to struggle with simply being content to be with God, they would rather be like God.
Tis the enticement and entanglement of the enemy which led to the fall, and he still uses it today.
