Since most people don't really associate vegetarianism or non-vegetarianism with moral standards, there wasn't the same urge to invent a word for this meaning. | |
| Mar 30, 2017 at 12:12 | comment | added | Ramon Melo | @marcellothearcane no, yes, yes. Vegetarianism as a culture (not only as an eating habit) is very young in comparison with the English language, it is natural that its own vocabulary is still being created. | |

| Mar 30, 2017 at 12:10 | comment | added | Glorfindel | I think so (but I have no concrete evidence to back it up). | |
| Mar 30, 2017 at 12:07 | comment | added | marcellothearcane | So there's not actually a word for it? Is this because it is seen as the norm, and it is expected that people will be non-vegetarian unless otherwise specified? | |
