It;s sort of amusing..because what we have in this conjecture are three distinct options for a god.
God could have just made us better and not need to kill anything..not even plants, to survive.
God could have made alot of fuckin plants
God could have made us to eat shit asshole first, for the good of all of us..except the ones who are dead.
Not only does god not go with the least objectionable theoretical option...he chooses not to go with the option he did make -for- the plants..which he did make alot of. It's hard to make anything but spite or sick enjoyment out of that one (leaving aside base incompetence). OFC, none of this has anything to do with why or what god did..because pixies don;t exist. It's an effect of the lazy rationalizations of believers.
(and yes, I realize that the hopelessly afflicted will assert that god didn;t do this..that, somehow, because two naked apes disobeyed god..wolves started eating bison asshole first - but that's even more batshit crazy than everything that preceded it)
Bet that pisses him off.
(I giggle when I think about how the faithful imagine some prior idyllic state created by god where people eat fruits and berries and nuts and shit..not knowing that we made those fruits and berries and nuts and shit. There were no bananas in the garden of eden, no apples...no tomatoes, no corn, no wheat, no strawberries..none of it. God..in his omni-all-of-it, omitted the things we eat in the act of creation. If this shit were naturally occurring we wouldn't have needed to terraform the earth in the first place, or hunt down all of his other creatures. The impetus of expansion and extinction would be absent in the world.)

It is far more efficient eating plants directly than eating an animal that survives by eating plants,Efficient, but environmentally impractical.....yet again a failure gods grand design. One that we're attempting to remedy with the application of the "curse" he put on us.
