Cheetos, yes Cheetos have been the topic of countless comments on websites featuring photos of Britney Spears and, more recently, Angelina Jolie, allowing their children to indulge in this unhealthy “chemical ridden” snack. Personally, I don’t let anything of that ilk pass thru my child’s lips. But if I did, I’m so glad I’m not a celebrity and that my child’s snack choice would be the fodder of so many judgemental, angst filled, and just plain mean, comments from total strangers. The gist seems to be that Saint Angelina can do no wrong and Britney, well, is Britney. It’s like Angelina’s brood just visits Cheetoville where as Brintney’s boys live there.
Here are some comments from various sites on the children’s Cheetos consumption.
On Britney:
From the Superficial:
"OK...I seriously wonder how these kids will survive to adulthood, and if they do, will the world want them? They're probably already brain-damaged from an all Red Bull-and-Cheetos diet."
From Mollygood.com
"Hey, my daughter eats Cheetos and I'm a great mom! Cut her some slack; at least she is trying."
“no it probably isn't necessary to give 2 year olds cheetos and orange soda but come on. This is the USA, i'd rather have my kids eating cheetos than whatever the sh*t is that they are putting in a "happy meal" these days. She probably is putting on a show for the cameras. It's not like the boys are eating only cheetos, there is a sandwich on their plates.”
On Angelina:
From D-Listed:
“Those little deities aren't eating Cheetos. That's what the bag says, but I'm sure when Shiloh puts one to her mouth, all the preservatives melt away and it becomes a piece of Sacramental bread.”
From Skinny Website comments: “I think that’s cool. When Mom’s are in great shape and don’t touch bad food, but then let their children indulge. It’s healthy. Nothing’s worse when you’re a kid then going to your friedns house who’s mom is a health crazed nut and having fruit for snack!
“I don’t think there’s nothing wrong with ocasional junk food consumption. Specially if you’re under the age of 10 when you tend to move a lot…obviosly kids shoulnd’t be kept alive on junk food - thats what leads to obese children. so I think it’s very cool that Angelina allows her kids to eat Cheetos once in a while. They’re kids!!!!!!!!”
Us weekly Comment:
“Cheetos? Seriously? Angelina buying her adorable kids cheetos is a top news story? Who cares? If that was they only thing she ever fed them, then it would be news but it's just a snack for crying out loud!”
and last but not least:
From E! Online: “So what if she lets her kids eat Cheetos. No parent has the right to judge another...”
