    @saint_wildcard: But according to the tv show he LIKES to eat.

    Also I've eaten meat in the past but I'm vegetarian now.

    He doesn't need to eat but he does anyway because he wants to fit in.

    @tifalockhart: if take what Lvenger has said about Clark's moral compass as a definite, he would consider it killing an animal. But I don't think he's that strict he's still a farm boy at heart. Plus if he thought but if he thought it was bad why not put a stop to it.

    To be honest, I never liked that Clark never has to eat. It's just so weird to me.

    Agreed, it always bugged me as well.

    That's a great question. Plankton, maybe? Kelp?

    Yeah... makes him less relatable. Honestly, the only thing anyone can relate to is his 'difficulty' when it comes to fitting in, but he seems to fit in better than most people.

    I was going to say I didn't like it because it makes him less human but I wasn't sure if people would be like "well because he's kryptonian DUH" but him being less relatable is definitely a better way of putting it.

    He is in Birthright, which was a cool little tidbit, I don't think that's been explored in many other Supes stories though.

    If he saw what happens at a slaughter house he would likely become one.

    Well I do remember seeing him eating hamburgers and other meat based foods in comics, especially the New 52. It varies though and Birthright really did a great job explaining why Superman could be a vegetarian.

    Not right now. I don't think that Birthright is considered canon.

    He isn't. Superman accepts that it's natural to be apart of the food chain.
