Birthdays are a great time to enjoy a special treat.

TikToker @dani_fitmom recently posted footage of her young children’s birthday treats, and the internet is reeling.

Instead of the traditional sugar-filled birthday cake, @dani_fitmom served up a savory treat of ... surf n’ turf.

Yep, the influencer gave their 1-year-old:

“-Grass fed & finished tomahawk steak”
“-wild caught lobster”
“-grass fed organic butter”

The non-traditional birthday meal was announced in a TikTok video that has garnered over 6 million views.


Viewers everywhere had conflicting feelings about the TikToker’s parenting choice.

After a lot of negative attention, @dani_fitmom addressed her “haters” in a followup video.


She explained:

“It's because most birthday cakes and cookies are filled with nasty artificial dyes, most of which are banned in Europe, but still very widely used in the US, and it's a known cancer link.”
“It's known to cause behaviour and learning issues, known to have adverse effects on attention, irritability, hypersensitivity, all that. So it's like, why would I pay a lot of money to give that to my daughter on her birthday? Especially because she's only one year old.”

She went on to explain that she contacted numerous local bakeries to inquire about their ingredients, and when she found that none of them were up to her standards, she opted for something else.

The internet still had opinions.

The Biggest Examples Of 'No Good Deed Goes Unpunished'

For every action we perform, there will be a consequence, whether it's positive or negative in nature.

We might know that, but sometimes, we still find ourselves surprised by what materializes from our actions, especially when we do something good, only for things to not go well for us in return.

Jerry quits Ben & Jerry's

After nearly half a century of puns, pint-sized protests, and spoon-first diplomacy via Cherry Garcia, Jerry Greenfield is hanging up his scooper.

The “Jerry” in Ben & Jerry’s has resigned after what he says was years of corporate censorship under Unilever—particularly during Trump’s second administration, when speaking up for civil rights suddenly required either a permission slip or a pink slip.

An Official Courtroom Sketch Of Luigi Mangione Is Going Viral For All The Wrong Reasons

Before cameras, courtroom sketch artists served a purpose. Even now, a sketch artist can provide visuals to accompany reporting of trials when no other form of recording during court sessions is allowed.

The artists try to stay close to what the defendant, witnesses, and everyone else look like, but they can sometime veer into the caricature, as Luigi Mangione has found during his heavily publicized court appearances.
