Chrissy Teigen Faced Criticism after Revealing That Her Son, 5, Has Never Eaten a Vegetable – Details

Chrissy Teigen is facing criticism after she revealed that her 5-year-old son has never eaten a vegetable. Many had a lot to say about the statement the mom of four made.

In a recent interview, famous TV personality and model Chrissy Teigen made a revelation about her son Miles Stephens, 5. She admitted that when it comes to food, Miles has yet to eat a vegetable.

While conversing with talk show host Jimmy Kimmel, the discussion veered toward Chrissy's children—Luna, Miles, Esti, and Wren Stephens— whom she shares with music icon John Legend. She first spoke about how her daughter, Luna, is very disciplined when it comes to eating healthy.

When it came time to talk about Miles' eating habits, the doting mom disclosed, "Miles has still not had a vegetable." She then went on to confirm, "Never. He accidentally ate a broccoli floret in fried rice and was so upset about it."

After the interview was published, Chrissy received backlash from many people. One social media user said, "Shame, poor child," while another insulted Chrissy's parental skills and chastised her, "Poor parenting. Start them off the right way." Similarly, another person stated: "Children learn from their parents. Do better!"

Others could not believe that Chrissy appeared to say what she did with nonchalance and ease. In this regard, someone commented, "Ridiculous! You were feeding him before he could feed himself. This is nothing to be proud of; I wouldn't watch your cooking show."

Another social media user pointed out, "I thought someone hosting a cooking show should have basic nutrition knowledge," while someone else who also felt strongly about the situation noted, "That's kinda old; my kid [has] been eating vegetables since she was able to eat regular food."

In the interview in which the infamous statement was made, Chrissy also spoke about her new food series with David Chang called "Chrissy and Dave Dine Out." The show follows Chrissy and David around as they dine with fellow stars at the most renowned restaurants in Los Angeles.

Despite what many had to say about Chrissy's parenting regarding monitoring what her children eat, the 38-year-old showed that she takes nutrition very seriously in a How-To video she made in 2021. In the clip, Chrissy was joined by an organizing specialist, Krysal Guinn, who helped her organize the contents of her fridge.

Although she had a few snacks and sodas like Dr Pepper in the fridge, Chrissy Teigen also had plenty of fruits and vegetables for her family.
