PETA billboard claiming Jesus (the "Prince of Peas") was a vegetarian has caused uproar among religious leaders.
Rabbi David Ostrich of Temple Beth-el, said historical evidence indicates that Jesus, like other Jews of the time, was a meat eater.Rabbi Ostrich did not appear ready to stick his head in the sand and ignore such blasphemy, even though he is, by his own choice, a vegetarian.
