Steve, LOL, I cannot but encourage you, vegan diet has more pros than cons.

Besides, you're not at all being so strict as I was, I was an extremist in my Youth.

Yes, Jesus did not encourage actively vegetarianism, but Jesus lived 2000 years ago in a particular context. Like in all mediterranean countries, eat was consummed rarely and on holidays. The mediterranean diet was based heavily upon cereals, fruit, vegetables, legumes. Fish was for rich men and fishermen.

Christians do not discuss about this but it is so evident. In the context, they should eat meat only on sunday and fish on friday. That would mean adhering to the diet of Jesus and his disciples.
