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.
True. But when someone says non-veg they mean non-vegetarian, not non-vegetable. :)
I think he means "Non-vegetarian is good too" instead of the default answer "Non-vegetarian food is also good".
I really Duolingo needs a better bots for hindi. You can always hire hindi speakers.

These programs are put together by volunteers who speak both languages. I suspect they might take offence at being called bots.
Possible mnemonic for the Hindi word for non-vegetarian: it begins with [m], like English meat.

Indeed, since it does not seem to have a negative prefix, I suspect it means something much more like carnivorous. This, of course, is not odd at all. I have never referred to myself as non-vegetarian, but have often said I was a carnivore (omnivore would be closer to the mark biologically).
"Nonvegetarian food also is good" should have accepted. I would say this is a better translation.
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".

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.
Agreed, however, both should be accepted. "Non vegetarian food is also good" is more natural but could be a response to, "Non vegetarian food is expensive". " Non vegetarian food also is good" may be a more accurate translation as the 'also' refers to 'non vegetarian food', rather than 'good', though my Hindi is not good enough to know this for sure.
I don't think that masahari food is good. This statement should be removed from this course, because it undermines Indian culture and provocative.
right , government prohibit the killing of cows and other animals in UP and other states.

A vegetarian diet is high in fiber, vitamins, minerals and low in saturated fats. This keeps your blood pressure and cholesterol levels in check. Over-time, regular consumption of such a diet can lower your risk of heart diseases and stroke.
