Sorry, got that wrong.
Not eating the king's meat and eating pulse (beans, essentially) instead gave them knowledge and prophesy.
Perhaps eating the king's meat gave the king himself a sense of lack which made him go looking for the likes of Daniel, et. al.
This was the wealthiest man of his time. His habit made him rich financially, but he also wanted to be rich with knowledge and prophesy, so he summoned those who would have it.
Greed with money. Greed with knowledge. Greed with foresight. Essentially, greedy for anything God could give in the physical world.
It is funny that the knowledge and foresight only could come with the rejection of the king's choice of food to eat, which is a pretty basic thing in the physical world.
