Again, the question of mushrooms was not a Halachic question. If you want to know the Halachic background of the mushroom I refer you to
http://www.kashrut.com/articles/mushroom/
The question was whether according to a literal reading of the Torah, would those edible parts of conifers, general bryophytes and general fungus be considered permissible human fodder.

The question is most certainly not “what foods would make for healthy eating?” What animals later became permissible is also not in question. One suggestion I made is that all animals have evolved from pure herbivores. I was not advocating becoming vegan, merely along the way pointing out that it was the original diet of both humans and animals.

chulin 60 a whether a plant is asexual or not. G-d commanded it to grow and it was for us to breather oxygen, to give other animals habitat, and for us to eat.

Our blood needs iron. And the best way to get a big dosage of iron is through meat. Many vegans often take pills because their grass,I mean vegetables don’t always supply them with the right amount of iron. Unless you are going to eat green peas everyday for your iron.

Perhaps there are two rights within this topic. Surely G-d wouldn’t have mentioned which animals are kosher to eat if he didnt want us humans to eat them.
