By Biblical Jesus, I meant the Jesus character in the Bible.

I was asking if there is evidence in the Bible of the Jesus character having been a vegetarian. An example of what I mean is a story of Jesus talking about treating animals ethically.

Because if there isn't, and if there is anything that contradicts that, Hyper's parents could use that against him. Isn't there a story of Jesus helping people catch fish?

I think the Garden of Eden thing works, though.
"Before sin, when we were in paradise, God instructed Adam and Eve to eat vegetation, and no animals. Only until after the downfall of mankind did he talk about eating animals. Doesn't that suggest that being vegetarian is the good thing to do?"

It's a mixed bag, and it depends on interpretation and context. You can interpret the bible to support whatever you want as long as you're creative enough, and his parents may or may not be.
