Which versions of translated documents have you been given?
How close they are to the real original / meaning /truth?
I shall investigate.

Let us check...

Example:  Bible,,,, LUKE:24:41-42

variations 1:

Did Jesus ask for  ~
 any meat or any food  to eat?

variation 2:

Was Jesus given ~
just fish, or, fish & honeycomb?

(and Jesus only took one of them
as in many versions of  Luke 24:43)

NOTE:
Old Testament - most were written in Hebrew. 
But a few chapters were written in Aramaic:
(in the prophecies of Ezra and Daniel and one verse in Jeremiah) 

New Testament - was writen in Greek. 
Aramaic was the common language spoken in Israel in Jesus' time, 
and it was likely the language He spoke. 
Some Aramaic words were even used by the Gospel writers in the New Testament.

 :::::  What else???

===Exodus 33:3
The promised land for people to go is
"unto a land flowing with milk and honey"
( they are enough to be attractive and luring to people ;
 not roasted meat or wine !)

===Isaiah 7:15

"By the time he knows enough to refuse evil and choose good, 

he will  eat curdled milk and honey."

(go there and see the variations of translation:

1--  curd/ cheese/ sour milk/ curdled milk

2-- sentence structures/ words  / changes of meanings in translations)

===Genesis 1:29
"God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food."

=== Genesis 1:30
“And to every beast of the earth, 
and to every bird of the air, 
and to everything that creeps on the earth, 
everything that has the breath of life,
I have given every green plant for food.” —

=== Genesis 9:4-5
(shall not eat meat/flesh with blood/life )

My conclusion???????
Some authorities or translations seems to
 have made the fact of 
vegetarian diet 
hidden/lost / obscured in bible ...

Was it to suit the ruling class's preference of meat?

Nowadays only few Christians practice 
fasting and cutting out meat/food.

I read materials saying that 
Jesus was likely to be one of the
Nazarene Essenes, 
who lived simple rural life, wore white robes,
ate vegetarian diet, fasted, and meditated.......

He and John the Baptist survived well in rural wilderness/caves 
with vegetarian food in nature, 
like milk/curd/cheese, honey, fish weed, locust fruit...and 
He seems well-experienced in fasting for long period of time!

Faith and religion/churches seems two things now.

Got to be careful what to believe and what to follow.

p.s.
I have been wondering ...
 the translation works,
done over a vast span of centuries,
by different persons of different abilities in different countries,...
with cultural differences,
misunderstanding
of similar words but different meanings in languages,
plus,
different levels of control / influences from those in power--
-- hidden agenda to use religion /bible
to help rule countries/people in medieval times....
