I’m quite happy being a Catholic-we are all entitled to worship as we wish, and I will not argue about how any individual finds God, as long as they do find Him in a peaceful way-we would not be in a muslim country...
The flood is more than a story-it is well documented in several ancient books besides the Bible, as well as in the actual archaeological/scientific record-it is as factual as the explosion of the super volcano at Toba, or the bones of a woolly mammoth-but I do not see that it relates to what we are supposed to eat.
I only mentioned it in terms of the “evolutionary statement” that another poster made. We didn’t evolve, as in Evolution, but are a direct creation of God, and God Himself mandated these things for us (and not “clawing our way up the evolutionary ladder” ... LOL ...).
As far as what we are supposed to eat now, that was mandated by God, right after the Flood. As to what we will eat when Jesus returns to set up his one-world government, He will mandate that, too.

2 And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be on every beast of the earth, on every bird of the air, on all that move on the earth, and on all the fish of the sea. They are given into your hand.
3 Every moving thing that lives shall be food for you. I have given you all things, even as the green herbs.
4 But you shall not eat flesh with its life, that is, its blood.
Genesis 9:2-4
