There is also a different view. Everything depends on interpretation and which version one finds acceptable.

1. Jesus ate meat. This has been translated into English. But the word means 'food'. So it is possible that translation could be the culprit here.

2. Buddha ate meat. Again the Buddha was following the dharma of a beggar/sanyasi when begging for food. That meant accepting any kind of food given to him without making demands. On occassions he ate meat when it was offered as alms, he never asked for meat.

3. Viswamitra. Don't know whether he continued to eat meat after becoming a rishi.

It is also possible that these people are revered not because they ate meat but in spite of it.
