That was the model’s response on Monday to one social-media user who criticized her for allowing her older daughter with fiancéRobin Thicke, 16-month-oldMia Love, to eat Flamin’ Hot Cheetos, as seen in a video posted to her mom’s Instagram feed and another on her Story.
Inone clip, captioned “Mondays,”Mia’s mouth is covered in the snack’s signature orange powder as she lounges next to a fully entertained Thicke, grabbing freely from the bag.
The criticizing user in question sent Geary, 24, a direct message containing a link to an article that claimed “snacks like Flamin’ Hot Cheetos send multiple childrento the emergency room eachyear” — prompting the mother of two’s “We’re here for a good time, not a long time” response.

Another commenter remarked on her actual post that “Those Cheetos are beyond toxic, she’s just a child!” and advised Geary to “go read a parenting book.”
“You’re beyond toxic for my children,” the mother of two clapped back in response.
“Oh boohoo I aborted a fetus years ago that literally did not affect your life in any way,” the star hit back at the latter user.
In a conversation with PEOPLE last September, pediatricianDr. Jaime Friedmansaid she sees “plenty of kids with stomach pain, pain when they poop, constipation — and the common denominator is that they eat the Takis or the Hot Cheetos.”
“At Frito-Lay, we aim to delight our consumers and food safety is always our number one priority. Flamin’ Hot Cheetos meet all applicable food safety regulations, as well as our rigorous quality standards. That said, we realize some consumersmay be more sensitive to spicy foodsthan others and may choose to moderate consumption or avoid spicier snacks due to personal preference.”
Dietitian and member ofPEOPLE’s Health SquadDawn Jackson Blatnerbelieves that the spice, along with the lack of nutrients, is likely causing problems. “They have zero nutrition, are packed with fat and the seasoning is lots of salt, artificial colors and citric acid — all of which may irritate a digestive tract,” she said.
