The reason it is not accepted is that it is a short form, and veg could be vegetable or vegetarian. Also, it would be an informal way of saying the word, and I guess that Duo just wants us to learn the proper formal way.
Except that the abbreviation "non-veg" is much more common in Indian English than the full word. I think both are fine.
I really Duolingo needs a better bots for hindi. You can always hire hindi speakers.
Possible mnemonic for the Hindi word for non-vegetarian: it begins with [m], like English meat.
"Nonvegetarian food also is good" should have accepted. I would say this is a better translation.

What difference is there between " Non vegetarian food also is good" and " Non vegetarian food is also good"
As a native English speaker I would say that both are correct, though "is also good" sounds a tad more natural.
I'm pretty sure that माँसाहारी was spelled मांसाहारी (with anuswar instead of chandrabindu), right?
No it should be the chandrabindu - there's nothing extending above the line for the long "a".

I don't think that masahari food is good. This statement should be removed from this course, because it undermines Indian culture and provocative.
