In the earlier period, there are no logistic support available- the food for the region is whatever available nearby depending on landscape- near to hill, forest, land, rivers, seas, deserts etc. It may be standing, walking, flying, moving or swimming.
In early vedic period, not only they ate- the priests performed sacrifices of animals and birds to God/ Goddess.
It is only after the advent of Shramanic religions, between 3rd to 7th century, the Hindu sects reformed to include non- killing ( It was the need of the time)
On the lighter note, to create feud in your group, Are you sure, Mr Meena and/or Pravin are vegetarians?- on the other day they were enjoying fish and chicken during lunch time sponsored during Seminar.
Today, all eat Non-Veg privately - but in their house they do not cook.
There is a proverb:
“Killing is Sin; but Eating will liberate it”
