I’m so tired of kids being used as cash cows for companies to sell them trash because kids don’t know better/have self control over what they are biologically wired to desire. Not just junk food, but also toys and games that try to get them addicted like a gambler. Parents should know better too but it’s EVERYWHERE. Advertising and feedback loops designed to stimulate addiction.
Its called the nag factor. Advertise to kids which makes them nag the parents till the parents give in and buy whatever they are nagged for. Companies have know for years how powerful that is. 80s cartoons were essentially made so they could then sell toys. Those caroons were essentially 30min adverts. Its nothing new, its been around for decades
Tbf sometimes its not even entirely the parents fault. Parents often give in to children repeatedly asking for things because they don't want to be left out or ostracized for not having the same stuff as all the other kids.
You know how we think of hygienic and medical standards from 100 years ago and we think they were so primitive? I think people in next generations will look at our lack of laws and regulations online and think the same.
You mean like how ultra processed food products compared to traditional whole foods, which includes fermented cultural foods that served as natural probiotic to optimize our gut microbiome diversity? You don't say.[/sarcasm].
It's not "primitive", it strictly caters to predators in a very complex way. I mean if you think it's by accident we have a lack of laws that protect kids about this, um...it's not.
The loophole she mentioned is so ridiculous. As if ANYONE would see a Mc Donald’s ad and be like “yes this is clearly only about toys“. Who makes these deductions? Someone who does not know what a Mc Donald’s is? Especially since you can only get the toy trough buying the food. As if any parent will buy a happy meal and take their child the food away so they only get the toy.
There is a law in Mexico that prohibited the use of mascots in junk food and candies, since they're aimed at mostly childre, i can honetly get behind a law like that. it ain't uch but its honestly a step forward, id unno if its applied in other countries
Just ban the production of such "foods". But unfortunately, capitalism is not concerned with the well being of the people it looks over, it only cares to profit off of their suffering.
@@sweariefaerie9621naw dude, Mexican speaking here and i can tell you it’s most certainly true, just like with many other things: it’s more of an issue of culture and education rather than corporations just being predatory, taking away the mascots and putting “high fat” “high sugar” “high sodium” and “high calories” stickers on “problematic food products” was about as effective as those gruesome pictures printed on cigarette boxes.
@@sweariefaerie9621also I think there’s a fair share of government corruption involved, like in certain places getting coke is just easier than getting water. The whole country is addicted to the thing all the same though.
This topic is so relevant and important. More about the food environment AND social media. We have to watch out for children. Thank you for continuing the conversation. Also, your background is looking beautiful!
I tried a Feastable bar out of morbid curiosity. It was nasty! And I'm a lover of chocolate. And as someone who grew up in the 90s/early 2000s, the advertisements for junk food and sugar cereals were so in your face. You'd see at least 3 or 4 of them during one commercial break in between your Saturday morning cartoons. They would even make junk more appealing by putting your favorite characters on the packaging. Remember the Nicktoons shaped Cheese Nips from, like, 1999? I do...
I wouldn't have bought a Feastable myself, since I just tend to distrust big names these days due to scandal after scandal and personal experience with idolising YTers, but my boyfriend bought one to meme on me and we both made faces when we tried it 🤣
I tried one also because I wanted to know if it is worth the pice, 3€ for only 60g, that is quite expesive It is one of the worst chocolate I ever tried, nothing about it scream quality
I’m so glad you looked up the Feastiblies stuff. I did buy it early on because it was healthier. I stopped buying when they switch the recipe. I really wish he had just sold the old bar under a different name.
I truly do think it's wrong to advertise junk food to kids, but I also see it as the parent's responsibility to be making that choice for the kids and educate them on why. It's the parent who has the money, after all. I remember tons of "kid" junk food commercials in the '80s and '90s and my parents wouldn't buy most of it, they would say it's too sugary, not nutritious, and too expensive. It seemed kind of like a bummer at the time, but it did send the message not to be overly influenced by ads. It's actually an important lesson to learn early on with how often we are inundated with ads trying to convince us to buy things that are objectively not good for us.
I genuinely don't understand how it is so hard for some parents to just say no. My co-worker constantly tells me about how her kids keep hearing about all this garbage food and in turn she has to buy it for them. It's like, no you don't? The kids are super active at least, but why are you, a full grown adult, caving in and driving across the region to buy the latest fad food trend?
i’m actually so glad that the uk has new restrictions so that junk food ads can’t be shown on children’s television and can’t be shown on any channel before 9pm
You know who does NOT have money = kids! You know who DOES have money = their parents! The one power that a GOOD parent still has in the world = the right to say NO! AND actually stand firm in the commitment to NEVER buy it. You know who fought AGAINST people getting BRANDED = their elders!
@@raa9098 There are plenty of competitive eaters on RUclips like Matt Stonie, Katina Eats Kilos, and Beard Meats Food who are able to eat massive amounts of food without being obese. If you don't think Nick doesn't know what he's doing, you probably also think SunnyV2's video on him dropping only days within his return was just a total coincidence.
He's always been sarcopenic, now it's just pre-recorded skinny fat compared to sarcopenic obesity. He'll crash due to poor basal metabolic rate, then he'll lied about how it's some sorta time warp. Still nothing new under the sun, and nothing of value was lost.
Processed food is a drug introduced to us at childhood. And the sad part is, depending on your family, you won’t even realize it until you’re a fully addicted adult. I’ve managed to cut down, but until I can replace everything with a homemade (and simple) recipe, the cravings are still there. Definitely improved when I went to Japan though. I immediately noticed that I couldn’t stand the taste of most junk food after eating simple conbini snacks. Most poptarts, hersheys, rice krispies, hostess, they all taste like plastic/chemicals. I liked that they were cheap, but now they’re not even worth a low price.
If you want to get a hint of how deep the Mr Beast abyss is, there are a few very good channels on YT that have covered the various accusations against him - rigging child-targeting lottery games is the tamest of it. That this guy is actually going public with something, anything, right now instead of hiding behind his lawyers, and there's no outcry, is atrocious.
MrBeast Is just another example where greed drives them to not care that what they're doing is causing real harm. It's a tale that has been repeated millions of times and shows no signs of ever slowing. Greed runs the world.
This man is subscribed by an amount of people that's approximately 80% of the US population, man could have done something incredibly powerful to promote better nutrition but did this instead to sell his chocolates and prime drinks that no one wants to buy
exactly what i thought, he’s kidding himself if he thinks that a chocolate bar was the only way to promote better nutrition- his child audience likely would have been just as influenced if he found another way to promote healthy eating, instead he’s getting kids hooked on junk food for profit (arguably even more so than they would have been without his chocolate bars)
& as people begin turning away from their products, instead of LISTENING to their customers, they become more aggressive and predatory. Even when they pretend to be listening by changing some of the ingredients, the changes are minimal.
Big tobacco and post-WWI chemical companies have been preying on the population for decades now. The majority of food companies today are now owned by what was once all of your big tobacco companies. When they lost the battle to cigarettes and smoking they then turned to buying up the food industry and getting in bed with big pharma. A healthy population never drives profits and therefore, the food and beverage, junk food, chemical and big pharma companies need to start with the youngest possible generation to keep illness and disease issues ongoing in order to keep profits rolling in by the trillions. Look into the chemical industries and how they evolved from post WWI and WWII war chemicals. Look into how big tobacco now owns the US food manufacturers. Then delve into sugars and their contributions to cancers and so many more topics used to keep the population sick.
So is Hersheys. Not saying that makes it OK. It doesn't. But very, very few chocolate brands claim to use fair trade and not slave labor. And notice I said "claim." I hope that brands who claim it really pay their workers a survive-able wage.
When I was a kid I was an extemely picky eater. In elementary school I would have a PBJ sandwich with a Capri-Sun and a bag of Doritos. Of course now I know that's nothing but sugar, but my grandparents couldn't get me to eat anything else. I can remember when I was around 7-11, all I would eat for dinner was frozen cheese pizza with a (you guessed it) Capri Sun. Outside of that I would always have a bag of candy or chips, chocolate bar, or a Dr. Pepper at the vending machine every afternoon. At breakfast time I would have a bowl of sugar bombs (think Frosted Flakes, marshmallow Lucky Charms, Cocoa Puffs). We never questioned it. And then I turned 19. After coming to the realization how ultra-processed foods damage our bodies, I started drinking ONLY spring water. Swapped the cereal out for cage -free eggs. Had some fruit for lunch. Started eating more veg/ salmon/ potatoes for dinner, avoided cooking oil. Got enough sleep at night. I'm gonna be 20 next month. It just shocks and saddens me how much the customers from the store I work at purchase this junk (and before you question, a bag of potatoes is far cheaper, as well as all produce. The same goes for water.) Knowing that they've likely intaken this stuff since they could learn to walk and talk. It's all they know. The employees are even more miserable. Addicted to sugary coffee, cigarettes, scratch-off's, cigars, and COUPIOUS amounts of Mtn. Dew. I ain't about that life. I think I'm gonna stick to my starches, veggies, and proteins.
Love the way your commentary is always focused on the heart of these issues, which is usually the morally bankrupt people and companies who are polluting our food environment. I think that framing is very useful in understanding the forces you have to actively work against to stay healthy in this day and age. I think its also empowering to the people who need to lose weight, because you can't defeat an enemy you don't understand. I've lost 30 lbs this year and I absolutely couldn't have done it without your content. Keep it up 🕺🏻
I was a kid during the late 90's and very early 2000's. I remember i watched Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon all the time. The junk food commercials were everywhere.
That's the biggest part. They can advertise to kids all they want, but the parent is the one driving them there and buying them whatever they want. A simple discussion on why junk food should be a very rare treat would go a long way. It does with my kids. "Yes, that is yummy, but here's why we only get it every now and then. Let's go make a meal together! It's so much fun." End of story.
You forgot to mention that junk food is cheaper than real food is. May be it should be the other way around. Real Food should be cheaper than junk food.
Can someone tell me why children under 12, especially kids under 6 are left unattended on the Internet/social media? Has everyone forgotten all the "how many random clicks on RUclips from KID content, will get to 🌽?" It was usually under 20 clicks. The algorithm is 🌽 leaning...
Happy meal toys are actually so bad now as well I remember getting one for my nephew and it was some paper foldable thing. I remember when it was like a furbie or Disney plastic toy or hot wheels car I get that plastic is like number 1 enemy these days but there's gotta be something better and it actually made me never want to buy another lmfao
I feel like we should’ve learned from the 80s/90s, cartoons of that era were literally just 10-20 minute advertisements for toys. Why wouldn’t we expect this to reach to junk food? Children aren’t people they’re just hedonistic crying flesh creatures who don’t know they’re being manipulated for access to their parents wallets. Wow I just love the world we live in.
We eat quite healthy in my household but still try to give some leeway for treats so that sweets don’t become a fixation. I’ve taught my kids about macros and trying to balance what they eat so I would like to think that they would have the wherewithal to see through marketing like this…. but then again, my 3 year old is obsessed with those stupid apple juice bottles that have the fancy character heads. It’s like $4 for 8oz of juice 😅 it’s literal exploitation of children.
Thank you for doing that. I used to have an eating disorder I’ve beaten it twice, growing up in the 2000’s destroyed my body image and it makes me happy when someone teaches their kids to have a healthy relationship with food. Also, I work in a grocery store! One mom I know buys a few of those juice bottles and then she washes them out and refills them and puts them in the fridge, reuses them a few times before she does another one. She buys like 4 of those and the different larger juice jugs and I guess it works for her 4yo 😂
I think we take for granted the evil manipulation that is run by adults onto children, which makes this time in history possibly some of the worst times to grow up in history. As much as we 'know' better for kids, the pressures put upon children through marketing and social media prove the lack of respect and love for the future of kids
In México, food with excess sugar and sodium cannot be catered to kids. Many fun cartoon mascots have disappeared from the candy aisle. I didn't even know this till I went back about a year ago and realized nothing looked as I remembered it
Thank you, Kiana, for these news videos! I really didn't know a lot of this material, like McDonald's being the world's largest toy distributor. Holy Crap.
Idk if I’m making this up but I swear I remember mr. beast also encouraging his fans to make the shelves that had feastibles on them look nice and even asking store staff to restock when it was empty.
I wasn't familiar with Mr. Beast, but kept seeing these bars prominently displayed at Walmart, and wondered what they were all about. The candy aisle is close to the pharmacy/ protein/ meal replacement area, so seeing something called "feastable" on a bar there made me assume it was an actual meal. Thankfully, I read the nutrition label and didn't see any reason to get it.
I tried feastables once because i didnt know what the brand was. Figured id try something new. It was DISGUSTING. I thought it was a new Walmart off brand. Taste like a chocolate laxative
Aussie here, feeling conflicted as I'm always happy to hear you talk about my country 💖but on the other hand, not like this 😂 For real though, Aus & USA share many wicked issues when it comes to our health & nutrition (aka S.A.D diet stats). I love this news/headline format, keep up the great work ✨🌻💖
Parents NEED to be aware of the predatory marketing tactics companies enact to get kids addicted to junk food. And to make sure that they monitor their kids' diet and teach them moderation and portion control. And... Yes, MrBeast definitely changed the recipe to be a Hershey's knockoff because the original Feastable bars weren't good. I remember watching a livestream from a vtuber, Pipkin Pippa. She's famous for losing her shit whilst playing videogames (most famously Getting Over It), but Pippa once did a livestream where she tried the Feastable bars of the time... And from what she described, they weren't very good. So it's very clear MrBeast saw an opportunity to capitalise on the ongoing American obesity epidemic, and then changed the recipe to be an unhealthier Hershey's clone once he got kids buying it. Diabolical as sin.
It CAN'T be legal to have kids buy these lottery tickets where they can win cash with an included candy bar. Win candy bars, maybe. A trip, I doubt it. Cash, absolutely not.

As soon as I heard what MrBeast, KSI and Logan Paul did, I instantly knew you HAD to talk about it
This one isn't about that unfortunately😒 - but yes you're so right. I physically feel like i must make a video about it immediately LOL
Junk food advertising to children is so unethical. Can't believe there is no restrictions, just disgusting
It will be banned online and on TV before 9PM in the UK next year.
The loophole she mentioned is so ridiculous. As if ANYONE would see a Mc Donald’s ad and be like “yes this is clearly only about toys“. Who makes these deductions?

Thanks for making a video about this. ❤
The Mr. Beast ad campaign is INSANE.
The global food system/supply chain is messed up in general, unfortunately.
When I was a kid I was an extemely picky eater. In elementary school I would have a PBJ sandwich with a Capri-Sun and a bag of Doritos. Of course now I know that's nothing but sugar, but my grandparents couldn't get me to eat anything else.

And then I turned 19.
After coming to the realization how ultra-processed foods damage our bodies, I started drinking ONLY spring water. Swapped the cereal out for cage -free eggs. Had some fruit for lunch. Started eating more veg/ salmon/ potatoes for dinner, avoided cooking oil. Got enough sleep at night.

The employees are even more miserable. Addicted to sugary coffee, cigarettes, scratch-off's, cigars, and COUPIOUS amounts of Mtn. Dew.
I ain't about that life. I think I'm gonna stick to my starches, veggies, and proteins.
It's scary with how predatory these companies are
Logan Paul and now Mr Beast both figures mired in controversy. Only natural that they team up.
Drinking game: every time someone defends Mr Beast in the comments take a sip of water.

McDonald’s was so much a part of my childhood. Ronald, Grimace, The Hamburglar. But it was always a treat. Something we had very occasionally.
I was a kid during the late 90's and very early 2000's. I remember i watched Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon all the time. The junk food commercials were everywhere.
And it's also help if parents instead of enabling the habits maybe tell a kid know every once in a while
Parents don't want to parent
That's the biggest part. They can advertise to kids all they want, but the parent is the one driving them there and buying them whatever they want. A simple discussion on why junk food should be a very rare treat would go a long way. It does with my kids. "Yes, that is yummy, but here's why we only get it every now and then.

3:30 there’s a line in a Slipknot song, “Satan? You must be mistaken, there are no more Satans only the bosses on the board” … very true statement.
I hope you're doing okay Kiana, I love your videos and I wish you all the best ❤
YES. ugh new Kiana post - love this! inspiring for behaviour change, im down 150lbs, thanks for making these videos.
You forgot to mention that junk food is cheaper than real food is. May be it should be the other way around. Real Food should be cheaper than junk food.
Its actually not. Thats propaganda pushed by junk food companies to make you justify buying junk over ingredients for home cooking
Can someone tell me why children under 12, especially kids under 6 are left unattended on the Internet/social media?
Has everyone forgotten all the "how many random clicks on RUclips from KID content, will get to 🌽?" It was usually under 20 clicks. The algorithm is 🌽 leaning...
Happy meal toys are actually so bad now as well I remember getting one for my nephew and it was some paper foldable thing. I remember when it was like a furbie or Disney plastic toy or hot wheels car I get that plastic is like number 1 enemy these days but there's gotta be something better and it actually made me never want to buy another lmfao
I feel like we should’ve learned from the 80s/90s, cartoons of that era were literally just 10-20 minute advertisements for toys. Why wouldn’t we expect this to reach to junk food? Children aren’t people they’re just hedonistic crying flesh creatures who don’t know they’re being manipulated for access to their parents wallets. Wow I just love the world we live in.
Mr Beast secretly a guy who's solely focussed on money?? who could have gueeeessed
Great to see you on You Tube again. Reading Fast Food Nation right now.
An absolute classic!!
We eat quite healthy in my household but still try to give some leeway for treats so that sweets don’t become a fixation. I’ve taught my kids about macros and trying to balance what they eat so I would like to think that they would have the wherewithal to see through marketing like this…. but then again, my 3 year old is obsessed with those stupid apple juice bottles that have the fancy character heads. It’s like $4 for 8oz of juice 😅 it’s literal exploitation of children.
Thank you for doing that. I used to have an eating disorder I’ve beaten it twice, growing up in the 2000’s destroyed my body image and it makes me happy when someone teaches their kids to have a healthy relationship with food.
Also, I work in a grocery store! One mom I know buys a few of those juice bottles and then she washes them out and refills them and puts them in the fridge, reuses them a few times before she does another one. She buys like 4 of those and the different larger juice jugs and I guess it works for her 4yo 😂
Appreciate all the great videos. Keep em coming
I think we take for granted the evil manipulation that is run by adults onto children, which makes this time in history possibly some of the worst times to grow up in history. As much as we 'know' better for kids, the pressures put upon children through marketing and social media prove the lack of respect and love for the future of kids
In México, food with excess sugar and sodium cannot be catered to kids. Many fun cartoon mascots have disappeared from the candy aisle. I didn't even know this till I went back about a year ago and realized nothing looked as I remembered it
That's really sad they're stooping so low....
I've just said to myself, "Where's Kiana on my feed..."
Came to the channel, and here she is. 10 mins ago.
Take care!
Thank you, Kiana, for these news videos! I really didn't know a lot of this material, like McDonald's being the world's largest toy distributor. Holy Crap.
I was watching a Kiana Docherty video and got a notification for a Kiana Docherty video, that's dope
I am sure these large corporations have the best interests of the kids in mind.
We truly do live in Biff Tannens world.
Just discovered your channel a couple of weeks ago. So cool to hear you're making more videos 😊
Disney Channel didn't have commercials until sometime in the 2000s...
This is a cursed time-line. Thank you for this video.
YES.
ETHICS IN MARKETING.
ETHICS IN BUSINESS.
ETHICS IN OUR ECONOMY.
it’s all our choice!
Idk if I’m making this up but I swear I remember mr. beast also encouraging his fans to make the shelves that had feastibles on them look nice and even asking store staff to restock when it was empty.
I find the behavior side of things so fascinating and appreciate your content as it relates to that
I wasn't familiar with Mr. Beast, but kept seeing these bars prominently displayed at Walmart, and wondered what they were all about. The candy aisle is close to the pharmacy/ protein/ meal replacement area, so seeing something called "feastable" on a bar there made me assume it was an actual meal. Thankfully, I read the nutrition label and didn't see any reason to get it.
I appreciate your content. Thanks for bringing awareness to these very important issues.
Now I can't help but to imagine Mr. Beast driving around playgrounds in his candy van.
I tried feastables once because i didnt know what the brand was. Figured id try something new. It was DISGUSTING. I thought it was a new Walmart off brand. Taste like a chocolate laxative
How can you just glance over parents? Parents are 100 percent also responsible! The parents can say NO!!!
Aussie here, feeling conflicted as I'm always happy to hear you talk about my country 💖but on the other hand, not like this 😂
For real though, Aus & USA share many wicked issues when it comes to our health & nutrition (aka S.A.D diet stats).
I love this news/headline format, keep up the great work ✨🌻💖
MrBeast company really changed the ingredients in the chocolate? and now he's making lunchables... why?
It’s up to the parents to keep their kids away from sweets and junk
Junk food ads for kids must be illegal.
I miss the good old days when their marketing included a record on the back of a cereal box
While I'll always maintain that the buck stops with the parents, I can't say that it's easy for parents in the current day and age.
Coming for the kids is craaaaaaaaaazy
Parents NEED to be aware of the predatory marketing tactics companies enact to get kids addicted to junk food. And to make sure that they monitor their kids' diet and teach them moderation and portion control.
And... Yes, MrBeast definitely changed the recipe to be a Hershey's knockoff because the original Feastable bars weren't good. I remember watching a livestream from a vtuber, Pipkin Pippa. She's famous for losing her shit whilst playing videogames (most famously Getting Over It), but Pippa once did a livestream where she tried the Feastable bars of the time... And from what she described, they weren't very good. So it's very clear MrBeast saw an opportunity to capitalise on the ongoing American obesity epidemic, and then changed the recipe to be an unhealthier Hershey's clone once he got kids buying it. Diabolical as sin.
Not even 10 million views in 5 minutes of uploading?
Kiana fell off🙄
THIS JUST HAPPENED HOW DID YOU DROP THIS THAT QUICKLY
The older I get, the more dystopian the world looks.
How about we START being parents and not buy our kids these things. theres a word im thinking of its the opposite of yes....hmmmmm
these companies clearly don't identify as marketing to kids... therefore they obviously aren't
I saw your video on weight loss journey and it helps to stay on track with removing processed food when we know more
Thank you ❤❤
I wonder, how come Hershey’s still didn’t sue Mr. Beast
Let’s GOOOO!!! I was just wondering how you were doing. Hopefully things are lookin up for you.
It’s insane how different I view mrbeast now after everything
You never had a gut feeling about him?
@@rebeccaspratling2865not really, tbf I was pretty young when I started watching him so pretty naive lol
Welcome back!
I was just wondering today - where did Kiana go 😮
You might just have a problem if your health standards are based off Hershey's. Pretty low standards.
It CAN'T be legal to have kids buy these lottery tickets where they can win cash with an included candy bar. Win candy bars, maybe. A trip, I doubt it. Cash, absolutely not.
You need to talk about Nicocado Avocado 💀🙏
Thank you for talking about this!
Mr Beast actually kinda did use some child labor by asking his fans to go into stores and face his candy for him 😂
Always had this type of advertisments and contests like since i was born
