Genesis 1:29,30

Indeed, there seems to have been no need of it, as before the deluge, and more especially before the earth was cursed for the sin of man, undoubtedly its fruits were not only brought forth in greater abundance, but were both more pleasant to the taste, and more strengthening and nourishing to the body, than they were after these events. And to every beast Thus the great Lord of all took care for oxen, and every living creature that he had created, and made ample and continued provision for their subsistence.
