EXTRAORDINARY NEWS · QUESTION 308 OF 311
Why did Daniel choose vegetables and water instead of the king's food?
But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king's meat, nor with the wine which he drank: therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself.
This verse is printed here. Compare the passage in NIV.
Daniel refused the king's provisions to avoid defilement and asked for vegetables and water. Scripture does not say God ordered a permanent vegan diet; it highlights conviction and faithful choices.
