You are not correct.
This is my claim in a nut shell:
Based on the Torah, At first, God only gave permission to eat from the fruits of the earth.
Meat is not mentioned and not allowed.
Again, When i say meat i mean actual animal's meat.
Once the people cried and asked for meat, they were allowed to eat meat as a compromise that was condemned and not accepted in a good eye.
As time passed, the restrictions of meat were lowered until it became so that instead of not allowing eating meat, the use of meat was to honor the Sabbath with more meat that usual (As a way of making the Sabbath unique from other week days).
You've got a bunch of things confused here.
First of all, if you check that tosafot I linked to you earlier, he explained that Adam was allowed to eat meat of animals that were already dead. That's actual animal meat.
The people didn't cry for meat when meat was allowed. You're confusing it with when they were complaining for meat in the desert and were given some type of poultry. Meat was allowed about about 1,500 years before that after Noah left the ark.
Meat is used to honor the Sabbath and holidays were there is a requirement to be happy (whenever there is a commandment of ושמחת בחגיך). This is from a statement
from the Talmud that eating meat brings joy.
The correct order based on Jewish sources is that Adam was only allowed to eat animals that died on their own. Noah was permitted to kill animals for food. And Jews were restricted to the types of animals and method of slaughter. Additionally, G-d commanded we eat animals at certain times, generally in celebration. A long while later, after the nation had been eating manna for a while, they complained that they also wanted to eat חולין meat. They were given some type of poultry and punished severely.
I still stand behind the argument that at the beginning there was no where to be told that man can eat animals.
I linked you the source in the tosafot earlier.
If you want the full references just watch the lecture i attached here.
That's way too long.
Where does the Torah requires you to do such thing as eating meat?
It was never demanded rather allowed.
Look in the Torah for the first time god permits meat.
It is required that we eat from the animal sacrifices that we bring to the Temple. Parts of the korban Hatat and Asham were
eaten by the kohanim as was part of the Bechor b'heima tehora. The Pesah, Shelamim and Ma'aser b'heima were all eaten by the people as part of the process of bringing these sacrifices. If you were capable of eating a korban Pesah but didn't, you are מבטל מצוות עשה דאורייתא which is a sin. The same for all of them.
