Kourtney Kardashian wants to promote healthy eating in schools.
The 40-year-old reality star recently set up her lifestyle brand Poosh and has now said her next step for the company is going to be tackling meals in schools because she believes there are “certain things” on the menu that are unhealthy, and that doesn’t promote “feeding your brain”.
Speaking to Glamour magazine, she said: “I’m really, really passionate about schools and what they’re feeding kids. To me, there are certain things that shouldn’t even be at kids’ schools. So many of us are living our busy lives and doing the best we can, and so many people don’t have the information to know certain things are healthy or unhealthy for our kids. It especially goes together with school and learning, in my opinion, because you’re feeding your brain.”
The campaign comes as the ‘Keeping Up with the Kardashians’ star – who has Mason, nine, Penelope, seven, and four-year-old Reign with former partner Scott Disick – recently complained the school her own children go to after she “wasn’t satisfied” with the processed meals being dished out at lunchtime.
She said: “I wasn’t satisfied with the food being served at my kids’ school, so I made sure that the principal knew my concerns. I’ve continued to offer my two cents on everything from the type of milk they serve to their use of single-use plastic. I’ve found that simply using my voice to stand up for small changes that add up to big impacts is so effective at not only creating change but setting an example for my children.”
And Kourtney called on other mothers to do the same.
She added: “I may not be the loudest or the most aggressive, but I’ve never been one to stand by and watch something I disagree with unfold. As moms, it’s in our power to raise some awareness and rally for healthier options. I’m doing it for my children and their futures.”
Kourtney who currently is co-parenting her trio of tots, recently admitted that she is happy with her relationship with ex-boyfriend Scott Disick. According to a report on The Sauce, Speaking to 40-year-old Kourtney in a teaser clip for his new show ‘Flip It Like Disick’, he said: “I was just so insecure that everybody would look at me like I’m not cool or young anymore. Now, I couldn’t be happier.”
And the ‘Keeping Up with the Kardashians’ star replied: “You told me all the time you weren’t the soccer dad.”
To which Scott – who is now in a relationship with Sofia Richie – added: “Now that it’s part of life and they want me to be there, I’m happy to be there.
