nonvegetarian
Eats animal flesh
Nonvegetarian describes food that contains meat, poultry, or fish, or a person who eats such foods.
The term is more common in South Asian contexts, where vegetarianism is widespread enough that meat-eating becomes the marked category: The restaurant has both vegetarian and nonvegetarian options.
Also spelled non-vegetarian.
