permitted. At the time of maase bereishis as we see from the “pshetel from the
Sifsei Chachomim I poster previously, the default is that things were asur if
not specifically permitted. Certainly this is only wrt to achila and hana’a or
every movement (lifting your hand etc) or any other mundane thing would need a
heter. This seems to come from the musag that the world is not yours and you
need reshus to be nenhneh from it – perhaps in the same vein, the rationale for
asur lihanos min ha’olam bli bracho. Then HKB’H explicitly permitted ONLY
vegetation for achila to man and although in Ber. 1:28 Adam is given memshala
over the creatures of the world he is still not permitted to eat them as the Or
Chachayim points out, but perhaps this was matir the other hano’os from the
animals such as use of their fur etc. which otherwise would have remained asur
to Adam. Then the Mabul and Noach is permitted to eat all. Then we arrive at
matan Torah where the norm is now all is permitted to be eaten (except perhaps
as I tried to opine in an earlier post) those things that were not yet in
existence and therefore still operating under the original assumption of asur
until permitted. I think this is a fair mehalach even if perhaps you can poke
some holes here and there that I might try to fix with a bandaid.</DIV>
