I mean i know you might say 'carnivore', but vegetarians aren't called herbivores, and the reason for this is, If I remember correctly, vegetarianism and veganism refers to the diet AND the philosophy of not eating animals.
So, what is the diet and philosophy of not eating poor defenseless plants? Meatatarianism?

The opposite of a vegetarian is Jack Bauer. This is a true fact.

Probably radical Carnivorians.
Actually there are some religions/sects that are opposed to vegetarianism.
Also, there are plenty of vegetarians who are such becaus they believe that it is healthy and have no ethical motives.
Besides, when it comes to the -vore terminology, this really relates to what the body of the individual member of the species is set up to consume and utilize:
Carnivore = eating primarily or all meat (as in lions)
Omnivore = eating both (as in most people)
Herbivore = eating primarily or all plants.
Vegitarian = omnivore who chooses not to eat in an omnivore manner.
We cannot *truly* be 'herbivores' because that is a description of a species and the functioning of the body within that species, not of the diet decisions of an individual.
A cow cannot 'choose' to become a 'carnivore' (and would not be one even if it ate some meat), andy more than a mountain lion could become a herbivore by chewing on some greens.

Clueless.
You do know that by eating meat, you're killing 15 times the plants as a vegetarian, don't you?

I'd call you a "carnist".
By the way, the animals you eat are eating those "poor defenseless plants".

It's effectively impossible for humans to live off of just meats for any extended period of time, so there doesn't need to be a term for it.
