An Australian blogger has hit back at vicious trolls who slammed her supermarket trolley full of ‘unhealthy’ food.
Mother-of-four Constance Hall casually shared a run-of-the-mill picture of her trolley to her thousands of Facebook followers – not knowing she left herself vulnerable to a barrage of unwanted criticism.
The 33-year-old posted a snap of her groceries as her daughter, Snow, sat on the front of the trolley which was full of noodles, yogurt, bread, eggs and butter.

Soon after sharing the image, Constance was flooded with a sea of negative comments from trolls who attacked her for the ‘unhealthy’ food and her ‘poorly organised’ method of stacking the products.
‘For f**** sake. Getting mum judged on your anti mum judging page. Then everyone attacks the judgey mum even though you’re an advocate for women sticking together,’ Constance wrote.
‘And if I was to drink the stiff bottle of scotch that this thread made me want to drink I’d be judged for that. The bananas and celery and carrots and potatoes and onions and garlic and mandarins and apples aren’t visible in this picture.
‘Wasn’t thinking about trolley angles, I also buy a lot of fruit from the markets and Denim’s mum is bringing us fresh fruit from her trees today. Should I post the receipt?’

Constance quickly deleted the majority of negative comments on the thread – which attracted thousands of reactions.
Dozens of others also pointed out she had stacked food on top of her bread and squished it- much to the disdain of her perfectionist followers.
However many commenters leaped to the defence of the famed mummy blogger, with some urging the trolls to get off their ‘high horses’.
‘I knew people would start analysing the contents of the trolley. She’s a mum feeding her family. Well done mum,’ one woman wrote.
‘Seriously peeved about the healthy food comments. I buy my fruit and veg an meat separately to my pantry items so it may look like I buy junk as well,’ another said.
‘Con has eggs, yoghurt, bread, butter, milk weetbix and rice bubbles with a treat of what looks like some pancakes and dips and noodles for a quick easy dinner.’

Constance, who also clarified in the comments that she feeds nine people, told her fans the grocery haul cost her around $350.
Several other mothers then shared their own endearing snaps of toddlers sitting in trolleys as they stood in solidarity of Constance following the abuse.
And it is not the first time Constance had been ‘shamed’ for the food choices she made for her children.
She claimed on her radio show The Queen Sesh her son’s teacher had ‘lunchbox shamed’ her for packing some chocolate milk.

‘I said to the teacher, really? The options are that or juice and because he can’t have any bread or anything substantial I give him the milk to line his tummy a bit because he’s probably hungry,’ she said.
According to Constance, her frustration reached breaking point when she realised her son had been forced to wait until lunchtime to have his chocolate milk every day for three months.
Speaking about the ‘awkward’ nutritional lecture from her son’s teacher, Constance said she felt as if she had sent her child to school with the ‘worst breakfast ever’.
