Hey great comments everyone. The question is a great one, becuase it demonstrates one of the classic truths of the Bible: that God has through time progressively revealed his truths to mankind in small bits. The question is, what changed between God's command to Adam to only eat "plants" to some of those great qoutes concerning eating animals in the Bible? The answer is God's new covenant with Noah. God tells Noah in Genesis 9:3, "Everything that lives and moves will be food for you. Just as I gave you the green plants, I [u][b]now give you everything." It then goes on to speak specifically about meat.
