What if your daughter told you she wanted to be a dancer or ballerina rather than take a high paying job chained behind a desk?

Some dancers make a hella lot of money.

I'd feed her until she was obese so she she would have no alternative.

The vast majority of professional dancers like that start at a young age, so I'd of course support her with lessons or whatever she'd need to help nurture the interest. The decision to become a professional dancer wouldn't be practical until a later age in which time it would be abundantly clear whether or not it would be feasible for her. Each step along the way I'd make it clear that I'm happy to support whatever her passions or interests are, but that these particular fields are super cutthroat and crazy and that she should enter at her own risk and with reasonable expectations.

Do what you like and enjoy. (if its legal).
