text: does the bible tell us to be vegetarian?   a vegan yes. see numbers 11 when the children of isreal were in the wilderness and god gave them the meat of their desire. you will see that none of those who partook of the flesh entered the promised land. if you look at the news and various studies you will see that all animals are diseased. the original diet for man was a vegan diet (see genesis 1:29). in the end in the book of revelation you will see there will be no more death in the new earth which also means no more killing of animals for food. god made a provision for man to eat flesh after the flood but it was not to remain so. the way meat is killed today is by no means the way god said to kill it. all the mcdonald's burgers, etc. have the blood and urine in it to make it tasty. if you were to kill the meat the way god said to and drain the blood, it will taste like a leather boot no matter how much you season it. why not refrain for all flesh now and be much healthier?
