Katherine you have some very good points made above as to anything specifically said about Jesus or by Himself. But if your discussion is if your husband should or shouldn\'t eat meat (as you are afraid of his becoming a vegan) here are a few passages for you to consider.
Romans 14:1-2
1 Receive one who is weak in the faith, but not to disputes over doubtful things. 2 For one believes he may eat all things, but he who is weak eats only vegetables.
Acts 10:9-16
9 The next day, as they went on their journey and drew near the city, Peter went up on the housetop to pray, about the sixth hour. 10 Then he became very hungry and wanted to eat; but while they made ready, he fell into a trance 11 and saw heaven opened and an object like a great sheet bound at the four corners, descending to him and let down to the earth. 12 In it were all kinds of four-footed animals of the earth, wild beasts, creeping things, and birds of the air. 13 And a voice came to him, \\"Rise, Peter; kill and eat.\\" 14 But Peter said, \\"Not so, Lord! For I have never eaten anything common or unclean.\\" 15 And a voice spoke to him again the second time, \\"What God has cleansed you must not call common.\\" 16 This was done three times. And the object was taken up into heaven again.
Katherinem, the point I\'m trying to convey to you is the thing your husband read is a mentality of moving backwards towards a state closer towards Adam (as he alludes) is wrong (and obviously not Orthodox). Adam and Eve\'s act resulted in a state where our relationship with God was forever broken. We can not go back to that. However we are reunited to God via Christ. That intervening state is gone.
In short, We are very loved, totally accepted, fully pleasing and complete in Christ. Approach your husband the same way, and eat.
