If Christ didn’t want us to eat His flesh in the appearance of bread, then why was He born in a city called House of Bread and laid in a food trough?

If He didn’t want that, why would He have said that He is the bread from heaven and that His flesh is truly food and that we must eat it? (And if He meant that as a metaphor, why didn’t He correct everyone when they all took it literally?)

If He didn’t want that, then why did He offer Himself as the Lamb of God for the sacrifice for our sins in the same way the Old Testament Jews offered a lamb in sacrifice, a lamb which they were required to eat the flesh of?

If He didn’t want that, why did He say, “This is my body, which is given for you” at the Last Supper, just before the first Seder at the beginning of Passover, at which they would have eaten the paschal lamb?

It is painfully obvious that Christ meant for us to literally eat His flesh and drink His blood under the appearance of bread and wine, and that’s why the earliest Christians unanimously took the Eucharist to be literally Christ’s flesh and blood.
