I love meat, so I guess you would consider me a carnivore. Do you eat meat?
I do as well, I think humans are naturally born carnivores to be honest.  What about you?
I do, but many people claim that isn't true since many people especially in third world countries do not need meat to survive. 
I don't think it is a case of needing.  It is man's natural instinct to hunt and gather, most things man hunts are animals with flesh.  That's just my opinion.
So do you consider yourself an obligate carnivore (meaning that you only eat meat), or a facultative carnivore (meaning you also consume non-animal food)?
I am definitely a facultative carnivore then, I do like to eat salads with greens and fruit.  I think a lot of people fall into that category.  What about you?
both animal and non-animal food, and, apart from the more general definition, there is no clearly defined ratio of plant to animal material that would distinguish a facultative carnivore from an omnivore. A carnivore at the top of the food chain, not preyed upon by other animals, is termed an apex predator.
"Carnivore" also may refer to the mammalian order Carnivora, but this is somewhat misleading: many, but not all, Carnivora are meat eaters, and even fewer are true obligate carnivores (see
and fathers, need to think about this. For that reason, it would be good to decrease the amount of meat that we eat. That is what I said.
I certainly did not say that you are not allowed to eat meat at all. That would be difficult. Whether it is because of previous karma or their present circumstances, some people cannot do without meat. This is how it is, and there’s nothing to do about it. It’s not a problem."
