A third person explained how they were more shocked by the portion sizes than the actual food: "I'm more disturbed by the quantity here. It’s the fact that she’s being taught to eat like this. I know kids are picky and sometimes you have to choose your battles, I completely get that. But this isn’t a phase, she’s been feeding the poor kid like that from day 1."
However, fans rushed to defend Lauryn as some pointed out how picky youngsters can be. One fan commented: "I’m not shaming her at all. I have 3 kids and my youngest is extremely picky. I try to give him what he’s going to eat and add in new things for him to try. So maybe that’s what is going on."
