What would Jesus eat

Description

I have always been curious as what foods were available in both Old Testament times and New Testment times.

There are lots of different foods mentioned all throughout the OT. The only foods that I can find mentioned in the NT are the following - wine, bread, fish, honey, a fatted calf, and 1 egg. That is not a healthy diet!!

There is also the question of whether or not Jesus was a vegetarian. But then, one of his parables mentioned a fatted calf, so meat was clearly part of his diet. However, meat was probably more of a luxury and thus not eaten very often.

The foods shown in this photo are similar to the Paleo diet, except that the Paleo diet does not include dairy products. I believe that is because cows, and goats were not yet domesticated at the time the paleo diet would have been in use.

The verse cited is 1 Chronicles 12:39-40
