Some of the things Jesus said about himself are clearly metaphors (I am the vine, I am the light of the world, etc.), but when he says, I am the bread of life, whoever comes to be me will never be hungry or thirsty (in John 6), why do Catholics (and the unanimous belief of all Christians for the first 1500 years of the Church) take him literally? Why not treat this like another metaphor among many? Well, because there's something very different about how he builds and elaborates on his teaching in John 6 compared to the others.
