In a delightful Instagram moment, Kelly Clarkson shared a video capturing her two-year-old daughter, Lily Rose, savoring Nutella for the very first time. While this should have been a simple celebration of motherhood and joy, it quickly turned into a battleground for the so-called “food police.”
Clarkson, a powerhouse in the music industry with a refreshing take on life, isn’t shy about her love for being a mom. We can easily imagine sharing a glass of wine with her, swapping cute snapshots of our little ones. So, it was disheartening to see her joyful post met with criticism from those who seem more interested in policing parenting choices than enjoying life.
In her post, Clarkson remarked, “Lily’s first Nutella experience! It should have been via crepe, but toast was easier.” The video shows her adorable daughter, donned in a fashionable faux pearl bib, dancing with glee at her first taste of the chocolatey hazelnut spread. Who wouldn’t react with pure joy? Apparently, some moms took it upon themselves to remind Clarkson of “better” choices.
Here’s a roundup of a few ridiculous comments, with us stepping in to support Clarkson because, honestly, she has more important things to do than justify her parenting to anonymous critics.
“There’s a lot of sugar in that.”
Yes, because giving her daughter a special treat is such a crime. It’s not like she’s feeding her Nutella for every meal—although, wouldn’t that be a dream?
“Starting them out with cancer at an early age.”
Seriously? Some commenters seem to think fear-mongering is an acceptable form of parenting advice. A study once suggested that a compound in palm oil could be carcinogenic at high temperatures, but guess what? Nutella’s makers are aware of this and never heat it to those unsafe levels.
“Make your own! Nutella is PACKED with sugars. Don’t make your kids blow up too!”
Oh, really? It seems some people have lost all sense of proportion. Kelly, keep doing you. Enjoy those moments with Lily and cherish her Nutella dance! For those who think junk food should never touch a child’s lips, we hope you’re comfortable on your high horse. More Nutella for the rest of us!

In summary, Clarkson’s innocent moment of joy with her daughter turned into an unwarranted critique from the food police. It’s a reminder that sometimes, we all need to lighten up and enjoy the little pleasures in life. After all, parenting should be about celebrating those sweet moments, not micromanaging every bite.
