There aren't really all that many accounts of Jesus actually eating something. Even in the account of the loaves and the fishes, it says that the people there ate them, but doesn't say that Jesus himself did. We know that he drank wine, and that he ate bread at the last supper. There's an account of his disciples gathering grain to eat on one sabbath, but that also doesn't say that Jesus ate it himself. Without more data, I'd say that there's no way to know if Jesus was a vegetarian.

Jesus ate passover lamb (the Bible says He kept the passover, and lamb was a requirement. After He rose from the dead, He ate fish. No, He wasn't a vegetarian. He came to give us salvation, and animal sacrifice before that time was to teach the people what He would go through to save us. So I don't believe it had anything to do with animal rights. Since He made the universe, He can deal with the animals however He wants. But I think the sacrifices in part were to remind people how much destruction our sin causes. That's how I see it, anyway. Hope this helps.

In the New Testament canon, we read of
:: Jesus keeping passover (P;esaaqh, or in Greek Paskha) of which roast lamb was the central feature,
:: Jesus eating broiled fish, and of
:: Jesus making ,and presumably guzzling, wine at Cana.
Soe Jesus wasnt a vegan_ a vejjy_ a 7th-Day Adventist or even a Jehovah Wit ***if the New Testament canon is tu be believed***. THat is a huge if azz the 4 gosspels dis:agree with each other in numerous places (# of generations fromm King David tu Jesus? what was written on the plate on the cross? h0w many persons found the empty t0mb? h0w many grave-clothes?), the idea of the just suffering on behalf of the un-just is un-just, the idea tHat "without shedding of blood tHere is no remission of sins" is patent:ly false or God is evil, and the idea of eternal torment ,without which tHere is no need for salvation, is an abomination, and the god who came up with it is evil and clear:ly not our creator but the devil. Soe yes, Jesus was a vegetarian, other-wise he wasnt holy.

No, he ate food from the typical Jewish diet of the day. He ate lamb, some beef, fish, and eggs.
btw, no vegan eats fish. Fish are animals, and are therefore excluded from vegan diets.

A fairly recently discovered Indian gospel protrays Jesus as vegetarian, and has been suggested by some to be the theoretical "Q".
It however, is not taken seriously by most scholars as it likely contains inclusions.
Paul, however, said that the vegetarian is spiritually weak (Rom 14, I think.) So I don't think so.
He died for us to save us, not to save the animals.

Vegetarianism is the practice of a diet that excludes all animal flesh, including poultry, game, fish, shellfish or crustacea, and slaughter by-products.[1]
There are several variants of the diet, some of which also exclude eggs and/or some products produced from animal labor such as dairy products and honey. Veganism, for example, excludes all animal products from diet and in some definitions from attire also,[2] whether or not the production of clothing or items has involved the actual death of an animal (dairy, eggs, honey, wool, silk, down feathers, etc.).
A generic term for both Vegetarianism and Veganism as well as for similar diets is "Plant-based diets".[4]
The reasons for choosing Vegetarianism may be related to moral, religious, cultural, ethical, aesthetic, environmental, social, economic, political, or health concerns.
[edit] Other dietary practices commonly associated with vegetarianism
Fruitarianism is a diet of only fruit, nuts, seeds, and other plant matter that can be gathered without harming the plant.
Macrobiotic diet is a diet of mostly whole grains and beans. Not all macrobiotics are vegetarians as some consume fish.
Natural hygiene in its classic form recommends a diet principally of raw vegan foods.
Raw veganism is a diet of fresh and uncooked fruit, nuts, seeds, and vegetables.
Dietary veganism - where vegans don't use animal products of any kind, dietary vegans restrict their veganism to their diet[6]
Freeganism — argues all commodities produced under capitalism, not only those from animal sources, contribute to exploitation and avoid buying anything, including food. Freegans thus focus on acquiring foods and other commodities by means other than purchasing, including foraging for wild plants and gardening with intent to cause as little violence and ecological destruction as possible through their consumption. While many freegans are vegans or vegetarians, others will eat animal products that would otherwise go to waste under the justification that doing this does not encourage further animal exploitation.
It should be noted that most vegetarians also are aware of avoiding products that may use animal ingredients not included in their labels or which use animal products in their manufacturing i.e. cheeses that use animal rennet, gelatin (from animal skin, bones, and connective tissue), some sugars that are whitened with bone char (e.g. cane sugar, but not beet sugar) and alcohol clarified with gelatin or crushed shellfish and sturgeon.
[edit] Semi-vegetarian diets
Semi-vegetarian diets are diets that primarily consist of vegetarian foods, but make exceptions for some non-vegetarian foods. These diets may be followed by those who choose to reduce the amount of animal flesh consumed, or sometimes as a way of transitioning to a vegetarian diet. These terms are neologisms based on the word "vegetarian". They may be regarded with contention by strict vegetarians, as they conflate terms for vegetarian & non-vegetarian diets.
Semi-vegetarianism - A diet in which the only animal flesh consumed is seafood and/or poultry.
Pescetarianism — A diet in which the only animals consumed are fish or other seafood.
Pollotarianism — A diet in which the only animals consumed are fowl and poultry.
Flexitarianism — A diet that consists primarily of vegetarian food, but that allows occasional exceptions

vegans don't eat fish and Jesus whether real or not was never depicted as vegetarian.
