At least it is widely believed by present day Buddhists. I believe he made a distinction between eating meat and killing an animal. I would think that he meant that if there is no known corelation between its death and your consumption then there is no harm in eating it. This is an attitude that I personally take. But this can be stretched a bit too far as it is for example in present day Sri Lanka.
