meat-eater
This term serves as a descriptive label for dietary habits, functioning as the direct opposite of vegetarian or vegan. While it is a neutral taxonomic term in biological contexts, it is less common as a self-identified social label, where people typically describe themselves as non-vegetarians or simply omit the label entirely.
In modern ethical or environmental discussions, the term can acquire a subtle negative connotation when used by advocates of plant-based diets to emphasize the ecological footprint of meat consumption. However, in most general contexts, it remains a straightforward description of an organism's diet.
