Model and TV presenter Rachael Finch has lashed out at a troll who said she was “abusing” her children by “underfeeding” them.
The former Miss Universe is extremely passionate about health and rarely allows her children Violet, eight, and Dominic, five, to eat sugary or processed foods.
One of her followers on social media cruelly commented on the way she feeds her children, stating that it will lead to eating disorders when they are older.
“Hi Rachael, I have been following you for years, I have purchased most of your kissed earth products, however I must say that what you feed your children is a form of child abuse,” they wrote.
They are malnourished and extremely underweight. Please feed them more. You are denying them a childhood.

One of her social media followers cruelly commented on how the 34-year-old is raising her children, saying that the way she feeds her children will lead to eating disorders when they are older.
“I have no doubt that Violet will develop some sort of eating disorder with what you feed her,” they continued.
‘I will no longer buy your products (no matter how good they are).’
Rachel, who shares her two children with her husband, dancer Michael Miziner, took a screenshot of the comment and posted it to her Instagram page to mock the troll.
The mother-of-two was furious at the accusation, calling the comments dangerous.
‘Child abuse. Eating disorder. underfed How would you respond? Would you answer? she wrote.
“I feel lucky because I have the emotional support at home to help me deal with these kinds of comments,” the star raged.
‘But for those who don’t, this could be dangerous. Even though this person has no idea about our son’s well-being, apart from some food posts I make from time to time, he plays with his thoughts and feelings,” he continued.
‘This post is simply a reminder to think twice before speaking or writing.
‘You don’t have to agree with everyone, but you should keep your potentially damaging comments to yourself.
‘Spread kindness instead, please,’ she finished.

“I’ve gotten so many comments like, ‘Your kids are too skinny, you’re depriving them of a childhood, they’re going to grow up with mental disorders, they’re going to hate you when they grow up, why don’t you let them live their life?’
Rachael says her healthy meals seem to have sparked the comments.
“They see me cooking things at home and since I like to share many of the healthy versions of what I prepare, they think my children are deficient and it’s very sad,” she said.
‘At first…for days it just amazed me how people could be so nasty.’
