Animals Explicitly Given as Food (Genesis 9:1–3)

Description

Genesis 4:2–4 seems to strongly suggest that humans were already eating meat from animals before the Flood. So why does God specifically sanction the human eating of meat after the Flood? And why does he only give one restriction here, when he gives many more later?
