You're thinking strictly in terms of the verb being "just" the verb, like in English. In English we have the verb, right? And the verb is accompanied by the pronoun. The verb "to be" which, when conjugated, can be "are" and with that conjugated form has to be accompanied by either the pronoun "they" "we" or "you".
Two words to describe one thing really. In Spanish, the verb conjugation almost always automatically tells you exactly who you're talking about because each conjugation 1st person, 2nd person, singular, plural can only be attached to a specific pronoun. The only time it can be unclear is for 3rd person singular and plural.

For example, you said "eres" is "are" but that's not entirely true. Eres all by its lonesome actually means "YOU are". In the beginning of the lessons they've always included the pronoun because we as English speakers have grown up learning that a verb is accompanied by a pronoun. Spanish verbs don't need the pronoun. By default, the verb conjugation tells you WHO is doing the action, therefore the conjugated verb alone has the pronoun in it already. But on the flip side, when you turn these into questions it automatically is asking if the subject is or does the verb.
In English most of the time we include the auxiliary verb "do" as in "do you eat meat?
The very nature of a verb is the act of doing something so Spanish is just like "pfft, we don't need to add an additional word in there. Again, here we've dropped the auxiliary verb "do" since the proper way to say it would have been "do you eat meat? In these cases the person being spoken about is either known because, let's face it, you're talking about the person or persons, or if it's not, THEN you can include the pronoun to clear up any ambiguity.
Here on duolingo they sometimes include the 3rd person pronoun, in which case it's specific what the answer is and if they don't include the pronoun they software accepts all versions of the translation. Don't freak out when they don't include the pronoun. Remember, these are only sentence fragments most of the time or at best, conversational fragments. If you're in a conversation or reading something, context usually always tells you who the verb is talking about.
Holla Hucklebeary, Muchas gratias. That was so resourceful and educative, in fact your exhaustive explanation has changed the perception I was beginning to develop, that Spanish is confusing. Instead, you've made it look simpler and interesting than I thought. I hope you will continue to support me on this journey, gracias. I'm glad it was of help. I'm always eager to pass on what I've learned so far and I find that since I was not too long ago asking these same questions, it helps to firmly establish what I've learned by teaching it and it allows me to teach it in a clear and thorough manner since I know exactly where the confusion may lay for someone seeing as how I had the same "huh???
There is no other meaning it could be. Thus, unless it is otherwise clear from context, you need to add the usted to clarify. You are confused because there is no context for you to figure out what I mean. Holla Mikey, como estas! Are these two questions correct. You're gonna get to all that stuff eventually and honestly, don't worry too much about it as it'll all make sense as you build your skills, but let's break it down.
That's singular for who. However, the "es" there in your original sentence, while it does mean "is", does not get used here. Es is a conjugation of the verb "ser" as you already know which means "to be" but there is ANOTHER verb in Spanish that also means "to be" and that somewhat troublesome bugger is called Estar.
Who Are You
Thus begins your first step into the dreaded realm of "ser" vs "estar" a topic that never ceases to grip new Spanish students with fear and frustration. Ser means "to be" and estar means "to be" but the basic difference is that one gets used for more intrinsic and permanent states of "being" and the other gets used for temporary or conditional states. There's a tad more to it but, just to get you started lol.
Think about thinks that are intrinsic qualities or characteristics or things that don't easily change or will be that way for a long time. You are a man. I am a brunette. These type of things are either permanent things, intrinsic qualities or are unlikely to change anytime soon. These versions of "to be" all get the verb ser. Now think about states of "being" that are temporary. Things like I am sick. I am at the train station. We're watching a movie. You're not always going to be sick, he's not always going to be happy, she's not always cooking, they're not always eating, I'm certainly not always at the train station and that movie has to end sometime and sometime soon lol.
These are all temporary states of being and thus, they get the verb estar. Don't worry, you'll get to it eventually and honestly, it's not as difficult or tricky as most people make it out to be. But anyway, let's get back to your example You're asking "who IS cooking meat? Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to figure out if the "to be" is describing a state of being that requires ser or estar. This is a fairly easy example because the "to be" is followed by a verb in this question. Again, don't freak out, you'll get to estar soon enough. As for the cooking part.
Cocino is the 1st person conjugation of cocinar so you literally asked "who is I cook meat? Cocino can only ever mean I cook or do I cook?. The "cocinando" part in my sentence?
