In a delightful moment that should have been celebrated, celebrity mom Jenna Taylor shared a video on Instagram showcasing her two-year-old daughter, Lily, savoring Nutella for the first time. Instead of joy, however, the post ignited a wave of criticism from the so-called “food police,” who seem to have made it their mission to police other parents’ choices.
Taylor, known for her upbeat personality and successful career, posted the video with the caption: “Lily’s first Nutella experience! It should have been on a crepe, but toast was more convenient.” In the video, Lily, decked out in an adorable faux pearl bib, dances with glee at the taste of the sweet hazelnut spread. It’s a moment of pure happiness—unless, of course, you’re one of those parents who thrive on criticizing others.
Some comments ranged from the mundane to the ridiculous. “There’s a lot of sugar in that,” one commenter pointed out, as if Taylor didn’t know she was giving her daughter a special treat. Another remarked, “Start them out with cancer at an early age,” which is just an eye-roll-inducing exaggeration. Sure, there’s been chatter about a compound in palm oil potentially being carcinogenic, but the levels of concern are often wildly misconstrued. Nutella’s manufacturers are savvy about their processing methods, ensuring safety.
Then, there was the comment suggesting Taylor should make her own Nutella because “it’s PACKED with sugars.” Seriously? Hold my purse while I prepare to defend this mom! Taylor deserves to enjoy these sweet moments with her daughter without unsolicited advice from self-appointed food critics. For those who think Nutella should be banned from children’s diets, we say: enjoy your high horse, and leave the Nutella for us who appreciate life’s little pleasures.
