A fitness fanatic, Kourtney Kardashian-Barker is on the news again and this time for her obsession with extreme diet rules for her kids. Kourtney and her husband Travis Barker underwent an Ayurvedic cleanse last year. The ritual included giving up sugar, alcohol, coffee, and carnal activities. While being health conscious is fine, some followers feel that the mother-of-three is causing her kids to develop a negative relationship with food.
In a recent interview, Kourtney discussed her health routine for her new Lemme line of vitamins and supplements.
During the interview, she continued by expressing her pride in Mason Disick, her 12-year-old son, for saying that those who allow him to consume unhealthy food are "bad."
When discussing her own childhood eating habits, Kardashian-Barker acknowledged that they were very unhealthy from how she raised Mason, Penelope (10), and Reign today (7). It was only when having Mason motivated her to sift through her diet.

“When I had Mason is when I really started my wellness journey, he’s very smart. He’ll tell me, ‘A person was bad because they let me have Cheetos." she shared.
She also said that she recently refused Mason's request for McDonald's fries. Mentioning her response to him, she stated.
“Mom, I need McDonald’s french fries today, please. It’s been a year since I’ve had it.” I was like, “Today’s not the day, sorry.”
Followers instantly picked up on certain warning signs and flocked to social media to denounce Kourt's choice to subject her children to restrictive diets. The healthy food control mechanisms by their mother on them as children had a deleterious effect on their relationship with food as teenagers and adults, according to many others who had grown up in similar situations. Another person chimed in, “This is a great way to raise a little boy with a bad relationship with food!”
“By restricting those foods at one house and having them easily available at another, you could lead to them binging while they’re at Scotts or trying to sneak food between houses. It’s so problematic,” commented another follower.
