Fans of model Chrissy Teigen know the girl loves herself some good eating. But she got concern-trolled after an interview with Delish.com after she confessed she loves licking the cheese dust off of corn chips. Oh my, does Teigen's Dorito-licking habit mean she has an eating disorder?
"I lick off the nacho cheese seasoning and put the chips back in the bag," Teigen admitted, after describing all the solid foods she eats on a daily basis. "You still get all the flavor, not all the carbs!"
And cue backlash.
What the -- you guys! A model! Is talking about eating only the cheese dust! Off her Doritos! Because it's low-carb! Save the youth, save the youth!
So silly. Did people miss the part of the interview where she says she eats eggs every day, with bacon or sausage and avocado? And how much she loves pickled peppers? How she loves a "hearty meal" and wakes up hungry at 2 a.m. when she eats salad for dinner? And how she even eats fast food a couple times a week?

Have people not noticed the prominent role food plays in Teigen's Instagram? So much cooking. Dang, all we can say is, John Legend is one lucky man for many reasons.

Teigen addressed rumors that she's promoting the Dorito Dust Diet with her characteristic tact and diplomacy. Just kidding, she blasted her haters the usual way via Twitter.

i can't believe i have to address this but my quote about licking the seasoning off doritos isn't "promoting eating disorders" it's a hobby

i wasn't honestly saying licking the seasoning off doritos is my idea of diet, you morons.

it was in the context of "it's a gross thing i do and i am disgusting but hey it's low carb HA HA" man social media you are the death of me!

sorry. you all aren't morons. just the people who seriously think i go on doritos seasoning diets. the rest of you are my everything.
— christine teigen (@chrissyteigen) August 12, 2015Right? Don't we all do weird things like that with food sometimes? Maybe you just want a certain flavor or texture. I once bought a whole box of chocolates and then proceeded to take just one little bite out of each and every one. And then I threw the rest away. (I'd already eaten dinner and it was cheap post-Valentines chocolate, okay?)
Anyway, thus DoritoDustGate draws to a satisfying conclusion. Now, is anyone else craving seasoned corn chips now? Just me?
