A great many of us do eat leaves at some point. Lettuce, Kale, spinach, etc. However, God gave man dominion over the earth to include the animals for food. Therefore, God must have meant for a certain amount of meat to be eaten by man. Not only that but many people do not know the difference between those leaves which are beneficial and those which are not. You could chew on tree bark all day and still not get rid of your headache unless you knew for certain which was white willow bark.

If the source of our food supply, (grocery stores) were cut off from us, people would have no choice but to eat what they could find. We are so very spoiled, and the majority of this world could not servive with out the food being grown, picked, cleaned and layed out for us to put in our liittle shopping carts.
People do not know that the annoying foliage called kudzoo and it's purple flowers are edible. You can make grape flavored jelly from the flower, and use the leaves like cabbage and they are high in vitamins. The purple clover that people spend money on to rid them from their pretty green perfect lawns, is actually a female hormone for menopause. The annoying plant found in the fields called milk thistle is actually an herb that helps men with their prostate. Dandelions are great for salads. You can also make a wine from the flower. The "weed" on the road sides that the blooms are sky blue in color, are called chickory which the root can be dried and ground up for coffee. Take the unbloomed day lilly pods and you can cook them up and they will taste exactly like green beans. IF you have a headache and you have a weeping willow tree near by, take a couple of those leaves from it and chew on them and it will releave your headache. It contains asprine. Pine needles boiled to strength desired, strained and sugar and lemon added will make you sweat out a cold or flu over night, but keep well covered up. These are just a few things that are out in the wild the people can use to survive on.
God has provided us with everything we ever need in life, but we are a spoiled rotten people, and I doubt seriously if most could survive with out the work of planting , harvesting, cleaning being done for them.

I think science can adequately answer this question. Humans descended from some kind of monkey-like creatures. We were meat-eaters - as proven by structure of our teeth. So, during our evolution, we have been eating various kinds of food, including meat and some leaves. Probably if everyone becomes vegetarian, after another couple of hundred thousand years, we may become dependent mainly on leaves or vegetables.

Because the apex species (man) needs high grade protein and that can only come by predating animals. Herbivores eat the vegetable matter and transform it into protein which mankind consumes-that is a more efficient means of getting raw energy than eating plants.

For cattles leaves are prime food, you know that. God created human not to be as cattles. So only some leaves were made as food for human too to make him understand that i am in every atom.

leaves(being veg) was the first generation of occupants of the earth since the time of Adam. Until the burnt sacrifices, of meat, which God permitted of them to perform were later consumed and hence the people became carnivores.

God creates us with a mind of our own. we can choose to love him or hate him . thats the beauty of it all.
in the bible, we know that they ate meat . there were fishermen and the scarificed sheep etc.
my guess would be that one human somehwre in time tried eating meat . liked it, told his friends about it. and like somehting that spreads, everyone starts eating meat.
God allows us to do what we want (mostly) so he doesnt stop us from eating meat .
although the muslims dont eat pork and the buddist dont eat beef.
all in all, you;ve gotta eat quite abit of leaves to get full. :D
thats what i think :D
