The video featured here has gone viral for two reasons:

It is both hilarious and controversial.

The footage depicts a very young girl reaching for a jalapeno pepper. The parents allow her to eat it and then sit back to gauge her surprised reaction.

As you might expect, the girl is taken aback by the spice, going through a range of emotions, but mostly coming out on the side of: YUCKY!

Pretty funny, right? Not to some people. Some critics have referred to this action as an example of abusing one’s child.

Do you agree? Or do you think there are far worse parental actions to get worked up about out there and this is pretty darn harmless in the grand scheme of things?

Check out the video and choose a side now.

(NOTE: Anyone who just wants to watch non-controversial footage of a kid being cute, there’s always this sassy dance routine.)
