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."
