La urso ŝatas la vegetaranon, ĉar la vegetarano bongustas.
Vegetaranaĵo estas la plej bongusta homaĵo. ;)

"Mangxi la vegetaranoj eble..."
I think it makes more sense.
Mangxanto is a person who is eating.

I was going for a verbal noun, does Esperanto have those? Is there a way of expressing 'the action of eating' in a word?

Manĝi is the right word here. You could say manĝado de but that would be 1) long-winded, and 2) ambiguous, as it's not clear if the vegetaranoj are eating or are being eaten. So the by far most common solution is Manĝi la vegetaranojn (don't forget the accusative -n). You're also not using the infinitive as a noun. It's still just an infinitive, that's why you don't need another preposition afterwards.

Hmm, I haven't met such affixes or expressing. In a lot of cases, we just add -o to the noun. Lerni - lerno (to learn - a learning).
And I think mangxo is a good word for it. It is translated like "meal"
If you use infinitive like subject (noun), it means process, action. It will be like verbal noun!
We can't use mangxanto in this case, because when we add -o to -anto, it means a person or a thing who do it.

I'm not a fan of using infinitives as nouns. Just me being fussy, though.

@PaCa826187, oh, I see.
I would like to use a noun here too, but it is impossible, I think.
And I think that infinitives will sound more beautiful in Esperanto!

Kaj kelkaj centoj da elektoj.
Kaj la frazo ne estas tial uzebla aŭ humora. :/

Not sure how Duo feels about vegetarians. One minute, it says that animals are not food, but then the vegetarian is eaten by a bear. oh well.

I think they might mean that the bear likes vegetarians because the vegetarians don't eat him.
Or at least because the vegetarians don't eat animals that would otherwise be his food.

I've been told...no I can't say that. This isn't an adult-only forum.

Certain bodily fluids can taste different depending on your diet. So if you eat a lot of fruit like pineapples and exclude salty foods like meat, dairy, and eggs then when you do..... stuff and things.... you will notice certain tastes.

Or maybe because vegetarian diet uses less land, and bears are having a hard time from deforestation, so vegetarianism is good for bears...
Actually, I think it's just a funny sentence. Maybe the vegetarian is it's zoo keeper.

Oh my God, really? I bet they don't even taste good and i'm an avid meat eater :S

As one who has eaten bear in my younger years (while I was traveling in the outback of Alaska, etc.) I found the taste to be a bit "gamey" but tender. There's a lot of fat in the meat, but it can also have a bit of a fishy flavor. (One old Indian I stayed with said that after a while of eating bear meat one can tell what the animal's diet was, just from the flavor)
So the flavor's not bad, but I don't foresee it replacing bacon anytime, ever.
Vegetaranoj estas amikoj, ne manĝaĵo.
Well, our little owl friend may be green, but at the end of the day he is a carnivore. ;)

Is the same bear that liked beer earlier in the course? At least he'll have something to wash the vegetarian down with.
More like: La urso ŝatas manĝi la vegetaranon. :-)

Being a vegetarian who lives in bear country I just have to hope that none of them take this course.
So my English brain immediately heard that as "The bear s***ed the vegetarian."
And then I laughed, because really, that would be the next thing that happens, right? ;)

No it would be speciesist, not racist. (Until you are not a bear yourself at least. I’m not sure if there would be races for bears anyway.)

Bears are a whole family of genuses of species, so bears could be considered to have much more different 'races' than we do. Ursinae, panda, spectacled bear.
I'm sure that's more than anyone eanted to know, but I couldn't resist looking it up.

This bear is troublesome. I want an Esperanto children's book about the adventures of this beer drinking, vegetarian eating bear.

I've seen this same sentence translated in almost every course I've taken on Duolingo, makes me wonder how Duolingo feels about vegetarians XD

Just because you aren't interested in animal meat, it doesn't mean animals aren't interested in you for meat.

Hate to break the funny streak of this comments section. XD But I have a question. Why is it ''vegetaranon'' and not ''legomanon''?

A legom-an-o would be a member of a vegetable, which doesn't make any sense at all. A vegetar-an-o is a person who lives vegetarian. The root word is vegetara, which simply means 'vegetarian' as an adjective.

Koala isn't a bear, it's a marsupial. It's closer to the kangaroos than to bears.

Ah, I learn something new every day... Wonder why they call it a Koala Bear? Never mind, I looked it up. Thanks

Kompreneble, la urso ankaŭ kontentigas sian soifon per malvarmega glaso da biero.
