Hi

Could you please tell me the opposite of "Strict Vegetarian"? How about Strict Carnivorous?

How does the sentence sound?

1- My sister is a strict vegetarian but I am a strict carnivorous.

Carnivorous is an adjective, Tom, so you'd have to say "strictly carnivorous" to be grammatically correct. The noun is carnivore.

Unfortunately, in addition to the grammar problem, this sentence tends to make you sound like a wild animal. Wink
I'd say ..."I'm a strict carnivore" only if I were trying to be a bit humorous. Otherwise you could use the word "meat-eater" or "meat-lover" or simply say you are not a vegetarian. OR you could say "I only eat meat."

Which begs the question:

when animal eaters die, what happens to them?

har har har

    Apparently, the term 'meatarian' is used, too.
