Little Chinese girl has a huge appetite for fruit, veg

A video of a little girl from China devouring fruit and vegetables has gone viral on the internet, being shared close to 370,000 times on social media. However the video has divided audiences, with some commending her parent for encouraging her to enjoy fruit and vegetables at such a young age, and other suggesting that she is being 'overfed'.


The little girl speedily made her way through a number of pieces of watermelon and appeared to be thoroughly enjoying herself as she grabbed some broccoli and cherry tomatoes. 

Overwhelmed by how much she enjoyed the taste of the healthy food, she then started to grab handfuls both fruit and vegetables before picking up the plate and trying to tip it all into her mouth. 

When she ran out of watermelon pieces, her parents tipped more onto the plate and once again, she continued to eat.

'She's very cute but I think (even if she's just eating vegetables and fruits) that she's eating too much. She is starting with bad habits overeating like that but she is still very cute lol,' one Facebook user wrote.
 
'At her age, she will not know when she is full. It's nice to see that her parents are giving her healthy choices. Not all parents do. If my child likes fruits, veggies, and soup, I too will encourage a healthy appetite for this kind of food,' said another. 

'The POINT of the video is that kids learn to love junk food but likewise they can learn to love healthy food. Children that young are still learning how much they can eat. As long as the parents aren't coercing the child to eat more, they will stop eating when they're full,' a woman agreed.
