Was Jesus a vegetarian?
PETA have once again pissed off a bunch of people in the hopes of getting attention. This time they’ve attracted the ire of Christian leaders for their Easter ad that features a picture of Jesus with his halo replaced with an orange slice under the heading “Jesus was the prince of peas” :
- But Rabbi David Ostrich of Temple Beth-el, said historical evidence indicates that Jesus, like other Jews of the time, was a meat eater. He said a ritual part of the Passover meal was a lamb slaughtered in the Temple in Jerusalem.
I guess we can put this one in the same file as “French fries are from Belgium”.
