    I am not sure if it was ever stated in the Bible that Jesus did never eat meat. But I am sure the bible does not say anything about not being able to eat meat.

    I didn't think so, but I'm really not sure. Why would Jesus preach to not eat meat? Didn't he feed the masses with fish??? Sorry I am rusty on scripture.

    No. Because he fed fish and bread to the masses. It's never said in the bible that you shouldn't eat meat right? I'm not that sure..

    Whether Jesus ate mean or not is a minor matter; who cares, except vegetarians. Anyway, they can only encourage others not to eat meat, but people can do what they like and not have to listen to you and not eat meat.
    Unless the bible specifically mention cannot eat meat then it's a different story, but there is nothing there to say Christians not supposed to eat meat.

    I may be wrong, but I think Jesus said, "Love animals, don't eat them."

    or maybe that was PETA.

    The only thing we should know is "Jesus was a full human being" but without sins

    Eating meat isn't a sin, so why not?

    There are alot of events we don`t know anything about,like the period of Jesus's childhood till he reached 30 years, and when you ask why we don`t know anything about this period, the answer would be coz God see no importance to tell us such things.

    am i right? :)

    Jesus was Jewish (except for violating Jewish law by remaining a Bachelor)

    Judaism has strict dietary laws on the way of consuming meat making it look more like g-d preferred humans to follow vegetarianism.

    I think it is pretty obvious that Jesus was a vegetarian hippy like person. If he ate meat, the Roman's would of never caught him.

    Propaganda! Jesus was definitely married! Didn't you watch the Da Vinci code :D
    Just kidding, but seriously I think he was probably married and probably ate most any meat except pork :D

    IN fact. the Bible tells us not to judge anyone eating meats at all. Peter also led the way to break the Kosher Laws by his dream in Acts.

    The OT tells us in great detail which meats to eat and which not to eat.

    God in the OT, Job I think, tells us of all the creatures he gave us for "meat" to eat.

    There is no doubt Jesus ate meat. He was not only a good Jew. He was the BEST of them.

    After I became a vegan (I am a vegan by the way. Here comes the remarks...), I was a little disappointed that Jesus ate meat because I had made up my mind that it was so evil. But, I always just assumed Jesus ate meat. I do not think it mentions anywhere in the Bible that he didn't. Though, I cannot particularly remember a story where he is eating meat. All he eats seems to be wine and bread... mmmm wine... brb
