buffednet, what do you think about some speculation that Jesus might have been a vegetarian?
Doesn't seem very conducive towards bodybuilding to me.
Since He was a good Jew, Jesus would have had to eat meat at least sometimes. Lamb at the Passover, for instance. Also, at the end of St. John's Gospel, after the Resurrection, Jesus eats a piece of fish to demonstrate that he is not a ghost. Later, he cooks breakfast--fish--for the apostles by the Sea of Galilee. (I've always wondered, did He gather the wood and build the fire, or did He just make it appear suddenly? No one was around until the fish were already cooked, so we don't know.) He was called a glutton and a drunkard by his enemies, because he DIDN'T fast like John the Baptist. He was invited to dinner at the homes of rabbis, tax collectors, etc.--people who would have offered him really good meals, and it would have been incredibly rude to turn down anything. I'd say, off the top of my head, that the evidence that Jesus was a vegetarian would be approximately zero.
