In a post on , said she was 'sickened' that parents were lured into the idea of buying 'kid-friendly' products such as branded snacks and pouches of food, insisting that most of them are 'full of c**p.'

The star continued that it's become 'hard' to avoid ultra-processed food when it comes to making meals for her family, and urged other parents to just give their children 'a piece of carrot or cucumber instead.'

In the video, Montana said: 'Guys this is for the mothers, or soon-to-be mothers, don't get into the trap of buying kids food.

'Like going to the kids aisle in the shop and seeing all these kiddilicious wafers, ooh a chicken casserole in a little squirty thing, I hate them, I really hate them, I think, they want it to be so easy for us they want it to be so conveninent that we buy them every day and feed them to our kids because it's healthy and easy way to, you don't have t make them a chicken casserole. It's full of c**p.

'And yes there's a time and a place for these things, but I also think they make it so easy for us to just purchase them and give them to our kids on a regular basis, that our kids just don't enjoy the experience of eating eeal food and I think it's really harsh on their palette when they have something really textured in their mouth.

'I used to give Jude pouches back in the day, he used to have pouches very rarely, and when I looked at the ingredients I was like ''oh my gosh I do not want to give him this stuff ever''.

'Miley I would never give her a pouch, and it just annoys me because I think we need to give kids real food. 

'And actually there doesn't need to be a kids section necessarily, we can just give them a carrot or we can give them cucumber, we can give them an apple, we can give them a pear, it just takes a couple more minutes to prepare. It's just really frustrating.

'And even the little raisins, don't buy the little pakcets of raisins just because they're kid-sized, buy a big normal packet of raisins, get a handful out, shove them in your pocket, go out for the day, that can be their snack.

'I just don't like it, the whole marketing to kids and marketing to Mums to create kid-specific products that actually aren't even that good for them that are just truly ultra-processed sickens me, and I think there should be more policy on it because I think it's so hard to actually avoid ultra-processed for kids and get them to be eating normal food.'

Montana Brown boasted that her son Jude, who is two and a half, had only just had his 'first proper screen time' - before fans claimed she had actually tripped up by admitting he'd previously actually watched YouTube 

'If I want to watch a film with him on a weekend I want to know that he's not been watching films and using screens during school time because then that makes me feel better.'

Montana continued: 'Another thing is nutrition. I am really hating that I am seeing kids have so much sugar as part of their diet at school.

'Why are we giving them biscuits at break times? Why are we giving them yum yums? Why are we giving them donuts?'

After asking her followers for their thoughts, they called her out for being contradictory after stating that most of her 'income comes from screens.'

Followers wrote: 'This is absolutely insane it's like dystopia. You're an influencer ranting about screens on a screen';

'What schools are you viewing?'; 'She wants Jude to learn on a chalkboard'; 'I think you are looking for Hogwarts'; 'Imagine hating screens that much when the majority of your income comes from screens.'
