Why wasn't Jesus a vegetarian?

Here is the text of Luke 24:41-43 which explicitly says that Jesus asked for food and that he actually ate FISH and HONEY which the disciples gave him:

“He [Jesus] said to them: Do you have any food? And they gave him a piece of BROILED FISH and some HONEY. And HE TOOK IT AND ATE IT in front of them.”

Well it does say that he ate fish when presented with it, but does not specifically say that was his diet. That was Jesus trying to prove that he was resurrected.

Does it say what they ate at the last supper. Other than bread? It could be that he ate what was the norm at the time.

As others have said that there is a difference between killing and murder.

i may come across pretty dense, but do you mean that is all he ever ate? he was like winnie the pooh?

John’s clothes were made of camel’s hair, and he had a leather belt around his waist. His food was locusts and wild honey. mathew 3:4

just briefly, on survival humans/animals can survive without eating meat, fish, that's why vegetarians dont' drop dead


and vegetables dont' have a central nervous system, they don't feel pain, suffering etc
