89. Does the Bhagavad-Gita preach meat eating?

Absolutely not.

God (Krishna) is a pure vegetarian he doesn’t eat the flesh of animals.
“If a pure hearted person, offers me with devotion, a leaf, flower, fruit, or water. I will accept it.” (Lord Krishna, Bhagavad-Gita 9.26)

God is the father of all living beings and thus he would not order some of his children (the humans) to eat his other children (the animals). Thus the followers of God must not eat meat, fish, eggs, or buy leather.

We should offer all plant foods to God before we eat. So in this way, we will be released from any sins we unknowingly commit.
“The righteous persons eat food that is first offered to me. They are released from all kinds of sins. But those who don’t offer food to me before eating, are committing sin.” (Lord Krishna, Bhagavad-Gita 3.13)
