The video has received 19.8 million views so far, on Instagram. It has sparked an online debate of sorts. While some provided a vegan perspective, others were concerned about the suitability of such dishes for a one-year-old. The idea that steak was served instead of a popular food item like cake is what has interested many people. Some even joked that they would indeed prefer this kind of birthday treat. Here is what some of the Instagram users commented:
"Are you adopting?"
"I'd take that over cake a million times over."
"I want a Japanese grade wagyu for my birthday now."
"If she can break down the small pieces and swallow/digest it, I don't see why everyone is complaining... it's meat."
"If you posted her gobbling down a cake, no one would bat an eye, even though most of the calories in cake come from processed fats."
"The fact that more people have a problem with steak than a cake really shows why the world is going downhill."
"Lol. Love how people are angry that she got meat (protein) rather than Cake (EXCESS SUGAR). Gotta love social conditioning."
"How yall out here making y'all's one-year-old eat steak? I can't get mine to even nibble on a simple piece of chicken."
