What's the opposite of "vegetarian"?

Little G came to have tea with us this evening. I had already known very well that she was a super picky eater. So, I was well prepared for her refusal/rejection at table.

Made sure that there's some small breaded chicken fillets on the table for little G. And we had salad tortilla wraps. Must have been a nightmare for little G to see loads of various vegetables on the table. But as her mother wishes, she should start eating vegetables soon. So, I was trying to be cruel to be kind, hoping that she would get used to the sight of vegetables. (Actually I was craving for salads, which was an untold reason for this menu.)

As expected, little G didn't touch any vegetables and ate one piece of chicken, 1 wholemeal crackers and drank mixed fruit cordial while the rest of us were munching yummy veggie and chicken in tortillas (flour ones). My girls must have at least 10 times more than Little G did. But there was no reason for little G to feel sad. Of course I bought puddings for tea. My favourite spongecake with apple and fresh cream filling (made in N Ireland). My girls and I adored a slice each but little G didn't like it. So, I gave her a slice of chocolate Swiss roll which she loved very much. She was happy at the end of meal, so everything was alright.

My friend recently told me that it's easy to feed my girls, compared to other kids. I noticed that my girls are positively willing to try different sort of foods recently, which I'm very happy about. Little G wanted to come here for tea again, even though I never promise to cook her favourite food. (Why?) So, I'll have to think of something new for her to try.
