I find it not cute to ask a child this question. It is like having double meanings. Let me clarify that I am referring to having an interest in something like a meat lover, plant lover, etc. I am glad that my child's student online can able to get my point about this concern.
What kind of lover are you then?

@58lordstreet It is a rude question, I would feel offended.

@58lordstreet I asked because I wanted to see the reaction of the student. But I did rephrase it eventually.

I agree with @MALUSE that this isn't really an appropriate way to phrase such a question for a child. 'What do you love to eat? What do you really love? What is your favourite this/that/ or the other would be a better way of framing the question.

I really do not know how to respond to this question. I think a child might not get it as well. I didn't even think that refers to whether I like to eat meat or vegetables... Good that you managed to get the student understand at last.
Are you teaching online now?

I think this question should be rephrased for asking a child what he or she loves.
In this way, I would suggest this:
What is it that you love best to do?
Asking in the way you have in English standards here in the States would constitute inappropriate for a child.

They are not good at this part.
