The way Reverse Dictionary works is pretty simple. It simply looks through tonnes of dictionary definitions and grabs the ones that most closely match your search query. For example, if you type something like «longing for a time in the past», then the engine will return «nostalgia». The engine has indexed several million definitions so far, and at this stage it’s starting to give consistently good results (though it may return weird results sometimes). It acts a lot like a thesaurus except that it allows you to search with a definition, rather than a single word. So in a sense, this tool is a «search engine for words», or a sentence to word converter.
I made this tool after working on Related Words which is a very similar tool, except it uses a bunch of algorithms and multiple databases to find similar words to a search query. That project is closer to a thesaurus in the sense that it returns synonyms for a word (or short phrase) query, but it also returns many broadly related words that aren’t included in thesauri. So this project, Reverse Dictionary, is meant to go hand-in-hand with Related Words to act as a word-finding and brainstorming toolset. For those interested, I also developed Describing Words which helps you find adjectives and interesting descriptors for things (e.g. waves, sunsets, trees, etc.).
In case you didn’t notice, you can click on words in the search results and you’ll be presented with the definition of that word (if available). The definitions are sourced from the famous and open-source WordNet database, so a huge thanks to the many contributors for creating such an awesome free resource.
Special thanks to the contributors of the open-source code that was used in this project: Elastic Search, @HubSpot, WordNet, and @mongodb.

You can get the definition(s) of a word in the list below by tapping the question-mark icon next to it. The words at the top of the list are the ones most associated with meat eating, and as you go down the relatedness becomes more slight.

There are already a bunch of websites on the net that help you find synonyms for various words, but only a handful that help you find related, or even loosely associated words. So although you might see some synonyms of meat eating in the list below, many of the words below will have other relationships with meat eating — you could see a word with the exact opposite meaning in the word list, for example. So it’s the sort of list that would be useful for helping you build a meat eating vocabulary list, or just a general meat eating word list for whatever purpose, but it’s not necessarily going to be useful if you’re looking for words that mean the same thing as meat eating (though it still might be handy for that).

Many different animals and birds have been hunted in the wild, but only a few have been raised for their meat. In the ancient civilizations of Egypt, India, China and Greece people raised pigs, sheep, cattle and poultry like chickens and ducks, and all these are still being raised today. Even though much has changed since ancient times, the kinds of meat and poultry we eat today are still mostly the same.
Meat
In a modern supermarket we see the same meats, although the cuts may have changed. Today’s cuts of beef include topside, spare ribs and steaks like fillet and T-bone steak as well as various cuts of veal. We also see legs of lamb and lamb chops as well as mutton from older sheep. Many cuts of pork are also seen, including legs of pork, pork chops and pork spare ribs as well as cured pig meats like bacon and ham. Meats of all kinds are diced for making dishes like stew or minced to make sausages, meat pies and hamburger patties.
Rabbit and goat meat is also eaten in many places, as are various kinds of offal like liver, kidney, heart, tripe and brains. Offal and meats like ox tongue, sheep’s head and pig’s feet or «trotters» are often eaten by people who can’t afford more expensive meats, or in places where every edible part of a slaughtered animal is cooked and eaten. In ancient times people also hunted game like wild boar, deer, quail and pheasant, and all these meats are also eaten today, especially in expensive restaurants.
Poultry
Birds kept as poultry include chickens, ducks, geese and turkeys. Whole birds can be boiled or roasted, or they can be cut into pieces before being cooked. When eating fried chicken, for example, we can eat pieces of breast or wings or drumsticks. Eggs from poultry are also an important type of food, with chicken eggs being the most popular. When shopping, you can choose to buy free-range poultry or free-range eggs if you don’t like factory farming in which birds are kept in small cages and never allowed to range freely in the outside world.

How to use «Meat-eating» in context?
Meat eating is one of the oldest and most widespread human practices. The consumption of meat is a fundamental part of many cultures and has been a part of human nutrition for over 2 million years. In recent years, meat eating has come under increasing criticism for a number of reasons.
One of the most serious concerns is the ecological impact of meat production. Meat is one of the most energy-intensive foods, and it takes around 26 kilograms of land to produce 1 kilogram of meat. Moreover, livestock farming is one of the main contributors to climate change, because greenhouse gas emissions from livestock farming account for around 25% of global emissions.
