I remember in elementary school being jealous of other kids with lunchables not realizing how good I had it with my mom making my lunches with real food. Thanks, Mom!
Yeah, funny enough when i was in elementary school i had lunchables. But a few years later i saw on how unhealthy they were, and also how much lead is contained within them, however, i took action into my own hands and learn to just make breakfast and lunch myself.
That kid was probably neglected by his parents, no time to show some love with cooked food. Yes, indeed U were the lucky one in the scenerio. If I see a kid with processed food instead of a home cook lunch in a box, I would Pity that kiddo
Lunchly is "healthier" than Lunchables is like saying drinking 23 beers a week is healthier than drinking 24. Technically that's right. Great video (as always!)
I'm from Chile, South America. It really surprises me how people in the United States are so used to eating processed food for breakfast or lunch. I am grateful to have had a mother who was used to healthy food, there is always fruit at home and we don't even drink soda or processed juices.
As someone in America my dad is very good at buying healthy food. I think I’ve had parts of my friends lunchable but never have actually eaten it for lunch!
Processed foods are way cheaper and they also come in bulk. So it’s way more tempting to buy a bag of chicken nuggets that last a month than fresh fruits that cost the same but only last a week.
Chile has the worst numbers for child obesity in Latin America, I am glad your family was healthy but overall the nutrition of the country is not the best, especially compared to it's neighbors is the region
I was travelling to South america (Peru, Chile, argentina) for 9 months. I Was on a budget and my impression was: it is super cheap(ok, just my view as a german) to eat super healthy food. On the local markets and food courts there is a big variety and super quality of unprocessed food. In supermarkets there are all Kind of big brands i know from europe & US aswell but they are VERY, VERY expensive compared to the unprocessed food. But i had the impression from the local community if you "made" it you can afford the foreign stuff and it is more like a status symbol. As said i Was on a budget and could not afford stuff like chocolate that much. In 9 months there i lost almost 15kg(ok, other Lifestyle aswell... Much hiking etc)
as the parent of a kid who is not allowed to watch youtube and somehow is still obsessed with prime (hydration, mercifully, not energy), i am dreading the day my kid comes home asking me to start packing a lunchly for him.
Adding meaningful discourse without overtly attacking someone is so difficult to do. I think Doc really did a wonderful job with this one. It's a video that makes you think. One that highlights the importance of taking things with a grain of salt.
@@Somerandomguy0207non-biased as in doesn’t care about drama’s surrounding the RUclipsrs, and instead focuses on if it really is healthier and by how much
@@jayhydro2030 sure it may have less sodium and whatnot. But let's be honestly here... it's f*cking mr beast and LOGAN paul.... there is bound to be some scam or something else lurking within their copycat poison.
Being from Italy I can’t really fathom there could be a discussion about this. That’s a not meal, not matter how you think about it, that’s feeding your kids with trash.
Yeah like why would anybody like eating cold pizza with a side of energy drink and a chocolate bar in their lunch? It literally looks unhealthy and just not tasty.
I'm going to explain this from the perspective of American prosperity theology. KSI, Logan Paul, and Mr Beast have💰💰💰--> God loves them --> they are moral. It is important to teach kids to idolize them and have them consume their dangerous products so that they might also be favored by hypercapitalist Jesus.
@@gwynbleidd71 Its not, i can understand the turkey cheese and crackers, i ate plently of lunchables like that but i could never understand why anyone would want to eat cold dough with sauce and cheese.
One major issue I don’t see being brought up enough is that due to the involvement of these popular influencers, kids who had never eaten lunchables will beg their parents to have lunchly like their peers. So many kids who would not regularly have Gatorade or hersheys would line up for prime or feastables just to be cool in front of their peers. Influencers are very powerful on young minds (I know so for myself; remember fidget spinners?)
@@bolbyballingerYes, because being told no has always stopped children. They definitely won’t find other ways to get their hands on their favorite youtuber’s product.
@@agx8447 Crazy idea here. Let them have it, if that's what they wanna eat. Just don't make a big deal about it, and balance it out other days with healthier food they will like and eat. .... 😐 😐 😐 ... To completely forbid it, will make it more attractive. 🤫 Indeed, they will find a way to get their hands on it. 😂
I like what one of the replies said. “Doing this for the money in your wallet instead of your fans’ health” is just sickening to me. It’s gotten to the point where RUclipsrs are just getting desperate for kids to buy their products. And Mike, you went over this perfectly. Keep it up Dr! ❤
what do you think society is built upon? do you hate general mills for selling cereal to children? do you hate board game makers? do you hate kids cartoon producers?
@@coolguyboomNo it's about the fact that those youtubers are willing to damage the children's health who looked up to them and admired them.And those kids are the ones who gave them the millions of dollars by supporting them.And they seem to not care about that
Well you can find a doctor saying pretty much anything so surely some of them, if not large body of them, are idiots. As also some are most likely good people and/or geniuses. Most probably pretty normal rich guys. The title says very little in the end. Other than that he/she has a lot of money and can read.
"its not about nitpicking, its about being reasonable and honest" is such a good quote. this is why i also dislike health gurus throwing around words and terms all carelessly
The Audacity to call a Doctor an "Idiot" who have learned his medical school for years to help people. And an arrogant RUclipsr thinks he's better than everyone and saying he wants to build businesses when he can't act professionally as business person.
@@vizizmI mean he already scammed adults, children what’s next? The elderly? Oh boy can’t wait to see my grandpa think Logan Paul ™ (With more electrolytes than the competition) is his insurance provider
@@AFraok That doctor did lump in potassium and sodium which is pretty unprofessional. Those have very different effects on the body and work differently chemically. As electrolytes, they belong in the same group. But they certainly don't in terms of health effects.
8:48 "If you're gonna stand by a children's food product being healthy, you need to hold your messaging to a higher standard" That could have been a Legal Eagle statement: "If you want to make a marketable food product, you're gonna want youtubers to advertise it. But if you want to make a USDA-compliant food product, you're gonna need a nutritionist"
I listened to him saying “If you’re gonna stand by a children’s food product being heathy, you need to hold your messaging to a higher standard “ right when I read your comment
The idea that Lunchly was promoted to be "healthier" or "better for you" than Lunchables got under my skin because this not only sounded like some bitter competition to me, but even I have known how untrue that was. I remember being so jealous of kids that did have Lunchables when I was growing up in school. They wouldn't even share a bite if I asked. My parents refused to purchase them because they found them non-nutritious. They sometimes made the lunches or I did when I could learn. I have never eaten one until today and don't regret it. As a result of the encouragement, I can prepare better meals than either of these packaged ones. A massive "Thank You" to my parents and to Doctor Mike for this video.
You say, as if it's actually possible to ruin Mr. Beast's career. Even his blatantly unethical treatment of the Squid Game contestants didn't dent his image. Logan Paul, on the other hand, barely has an image left to burn - he's been in controversy after controversy. Last I heard of him, he was scamming people with a crypto "game".
@@Halucygeno and then there's ksi, and I only know of him because of this controversy. I've never known a nobody who goes out of their way to be cringy and weird. And yet, there's an audience for all three of these jackelopes.
I like that he breaks the numbers down and talks about what they actually mean. I had no idea there was a calorie guide for kids, in hindsight I shouldn't be surprised but it never occurred to me.
Idk if Mike is mature enough to handle this. There’s a reason why advertising to Children is banned or heavily regulated in other countries. Mike doesn’t address the personal responsibility in advertising to children and the impact it may have on the public health. It’s the same reason you don’t see cigarette ads anymore.
Ive never been so grateful for growing up with a healthy lunch made by my mom everyday. She used to write a note on the napkin for me every day, and I still have every single one.
My parents think calories is the worst thing ever lol. When I ask if I can get something in the store to eat they check the calories before even checking what it is
@@NecronHandleeI can’t stand people assuming low sUgArS being inherently healthier. Especially for a kid. ❤️ You need simple carbs. An energetic kid needs that energy.
As a Norwegian, the whole concept of a company stating their product is better than a named brand from another company is mind boggling (it’s illegal here).
As a mom, my biggest issue with Lunchables and the like is that the marketing is predatory. Children don't have the knowledge about nutrition to discern whether or not the marketing is honest. They just blindly believe it and walk away thinking that ultraprocessed food it healthy. Also, can we address the cost of stuff like this???? I can pack a much healthier and calorie dense version of this for the same cost!
And all you have to do is help to understand what marketing and advertisements are, pay more attention to what they're consuming, whilst proving without a shadow of a doubt, that what you say is correct, but at the end of the day, there's gonna be some FOMO in their underdeveloped mind.

I'm not sure anyone is attacking them for "trying to create a successful influencer product." They're being rightfully attacked for aggressively marketing a product to children that is not in any way good for children. It's sugar, sodium, and fat (and possibly also lead which has been found in Prime before) in colorful packaging. If we can rip into cereal brands for marketing sugar bombs to kids, there is no reason we should not be allowed to rip into these three equally guilty people.
We grew up super poor and so my mom would make "lunchables" by buying real cheese and lunch meat from the deli and cutting them out with small cookie cutters in fun shapes and fill a bottle with home made lemonade.
The pathetic part of this is that a real lunchables product made from the "poor person food" would end up costing up to multiple TIMES more money than the crappy ultraprocessed stuff
I always love that you keep it based on facts, no need to disrespect anyone personally no matter how triggering they are lol , you killed this video and voiced your professional opinion beautifully !
Hopefully people are staying away, because I see Prime at the Dollar Tree, and even for $1.25 it's still not worth it. It's not worth free, actually. But I bet Dollar Tree bought all the unsold bottles from bigger grocery stores, because they couldn't sell it. Just a guess.
Si pero alparecer es con una inteligencia artificial, se le nota muy raro al hablar, no pronuncia las cosas como se debería hacer con una voz latina, sino agregandole un acento gringo, lo cuál (según yo) hicieron que la IA agarrara la voz original de Mike y la pasara con palabras en español, entonces como resultado sale este acento gringo pero hablando español. Pero de igual forma sigue siendo un grande por traducir su contenido
Problem is there have been very few legitimate criticisms. DanTDM's response was hypocritical and most other people spread outright nonsense claiming that Lunchly includes Prime Energy instead of Hydration and that it contains tons of sugar which it literally doesn't.
crazy to call a doctor "idiot" when you don't even know how the correct nutritional values for children. Horrible food, run by a horrible company, run by horrible people.
@@Chair-itable Prime Hydration (bottle) contains zero caffeine. As opposed to Prime Energy (can). Can you be a big boy and tell me which of the two is included with Lunchly? Are you getting my point now about most people spreading outright nonsense?
There's obviously a lot of back-and-forth about Mr. Beasts' "true nature", but the fact that Mr. Beast is willing to work with either Paul should tell you that a decent chunk of his persona is just that: persona. The Pauls are awful people. They have been awful people for years. They are consistently and continually awful people. You hitch your horse to their wagon, and it 100% says something about your horse.
Great job staying informed! Keep it up! You're crushing it! Psychopaths like Logan Paul, KSI and their ilk sort of move under the radar of grownups. Working at an elementary school I remember when Prime came on the scene and the kids went crazy for it. Everything was about getting the latest color or finding the "rare ones" and of course they were all unreasonably expensive bottles containing mostly food dye and sugar, sometimes with trace amounts of lead for good measure. Now the hype of Prime has died down and LP risk getting sued by the manufacturer because he can't deliver on his promise of an endless market so the slimy fucker needs new ways to shift inventory. Logan Paul and KSI are predatory serial grifters, intentionally targeting children.
Just fix them a regular lunch, unless you don’t have time. I used to eat lunch ables almost daily but I ended up stopping, not that I knew that they were unhealthy but I learned to cook for myself which is way healthier.
@@j0hn_.147-e5k 0/10 ragebait quite obvious and the name gives it away making it a finishing blow. Not really anything funny or creative, just bland and also uses a weak insult like clowns. Overall I think you can do better.
@@insectpublic yeah I needa change my name. Also I called people curse words but yt muted me for 24 hours. And clown was the best I could come up with 🤷♂️
Man learning about US school lunch culture is wild. In the Philippines, our school’s lunch orders were on par with home made meals that the lunch ladies cook themselves in the school kitchen
If you want more info on it. Watch theo Vons interview with a lunch lady, and also we watch John Oliver's video on school lunches They'll blow your mind...
As someone who ate only the free school food throughout elementary through high school with no exceptions, I can say the quality really tanked towards the end. Too often I'd get burnt pizza that was also soggy at the bottom. All people do is heat up the metal food trays and it still failed.
Another youtuber pointed out that unless your kid is working the fields all day or a professional athlete and sweating like crazy they don't even really need electrolytes.
Which is true lmao - electrolytes are advertised in sports drinks for endurance athletes to help with dehydration & muscle function during strenuous cardio exercise. A child with a body mass of
They put so many things like this in our food as well. Society is being lied so much! I read "The 23 Former Doctor Truths" by Lauren Clark. Its fascinating how she talks about Industry.
7:49 Their marketing revolves around them criticizing Lunchables in the most biassed ways possible, I think it's fair. They could made a better product, but didn't because they know they can trick children. Plus there's the fact that Lunchly is more expensive by Lunchables and by a lot. Maybe my sources aren't the best (Candy Cave and Walmart), but Lunchly seems to de double the price.
Yes. Almost all their promotion is shitting on lunchables, like they can't get up without bringing others down. It's also funny that they just don't want to talk abt the price bcs it's definitely not worth the money
I know it’s against the law in the Netherlands but is it also illegal in America to directly market wgain a competitor. If you make a soap you can’t actively attack another brand but you CAN say “better than others in the market”. So their marketing strategy is against marketing regulations in the Netherlands, but how does that work in America?
@@DuvaineCastelen From what I recall hearing, here in the US it's legal to say "Our product is the best" because that's not something that's ever provable objectively, but if you say "Our product is better than this product", it NEEDS to be objectively true, because "better than" is something objectively quantifiable, especially if you get specific on why. However, you CAN also say "better than the leading brands", and then put a tiny piece of disclaimer info somewhere in your ad to protect yourself specifying what you compared against. That's our Truth in Advertising.
I've never actually heard of Lunchly until this video, but watching the video I couldn't help thinking about the fact that I haven't bought Lunchables in 2+ years because of the large price increases. Knowing that Lunchly is even more expensive than Lunchables immediately makes it a no-go for me.
I'm surprised that nobody comments on the fact that the real reason why Lunchly has less calories than Lunchables is that Lunchly weights 2.5 oz while Lunchables is 3.2 oz. And they pack less food for twice the price.
I love the diplomatic call to these influencers to hold themselves to higher standards that was well separated from medical breakdown of the foods nutritional value. Thanks for the great content!
Thank you for raising awareness to vulnerable fans of these terrible influencers. It’s comforting to know not every RUclipsr is in the industry for the money
No one would be a RUclips if they didn't make money from it 😅... I don't know what's wrong with someone trying to make themselves rich ... ENVY GON' KILL YOU
@@Skies11-zw5zwYou’re misinterpreting what I said. I’m not saying they shouldn’t earn money from YT. But the means by which they achieve said money is very important, profiting off of children and risking their health is very scummy, like what the creators behind Lunchly are doing right now.
@@Skies11-zw5zw its not bad to make money. Its bad to make money off of vulnerable and impressionable individuals like kids who dont know the repercussions these foods will have on them. These youtubers are clearly targeting young people to these awful products and theyre not even hiding it. Its simply ethically wrong
@@BananaBossYT nah nothing like risking the health of kids , y'all acting like they're selling dangerous drugs... The kids have parents who's responsibility is to regulate how often the kids consume the lunch pack... If the product was SERIOUSLY dangerous it would get banned by health authorities, but the fact that it has been released means that it was approved
I've always appreciated the fact that you don't take a hard line on health, that its a step process of reducing the negatives to acceptable ranges over time, and not a hard black and white of go full throttle immediately.
@@mauriciosolano9342 What does that even have to do with anything I said? My statement has to do with how doctors approach bringing patients into acceptable ranges for whatever issue they have, whether obesity, smoking, diet, etc, in reducing the negative habits over time, rather than trying to immediately stop, which has been shown to work less favorably because of feelings of failure, etc. Get it together my guy.
That's why I've stuck with the channel. He doesn't talk about health in a way that demeans people for not doing everything right the first time. He understands that we're human and that sometimes we're going to make unhealthy choices and that's okay as long as we don't do it too often
@@MrBrock314 I wasn't either, but you have to start off somewhere and gradual change to get to your endpoint is better than no change, or ignoring the issue.
Thank you so much for this Doc! This is really an important matter that should be addressed and I hope that they would see this as a way of how they should improve and advertise their products ❤
i was wondering what the price point was like. even as an adult, i’d rather eat a lunchable than anything associated with these people. plus, you can never go wrong with a caprisun
Thanks for comparing to USDA standards and pointing out the caloric deficiency, that was more helpful to me than looking at the relatively small nutritional differences between lunchables and lunchly
my mum would pack a lunchables cracker pack, sliced apple, a small chocolate bar, a pack of crisps and a capri-sun or sunny-D, they were fine but by the time we'd get home we'd be looking for a snack my dad used to pack a ham or chicken sandwich, sliced pear, a little cheese, a packet of crisps and a bottle of juice, it was a boring lunch but by the time we'd get home we didn't want a snack. dad always made sure we were well fed and didn't eat too much junk food, chocolate, sweets or fizzy drinks. i'll do the same when I have my kid. he taught us how to look after ourselves and what to look out for when shopping i'll be forever greatful for that it's something everyone should teach their kids (may dad rest in peace, knowing we all are greatful for his dedication to us)
Best criticism I’ve seen so far. Most people on Twitter don’t actually care anything about this and only want a chance to ratio the big creators. You laid everything out on the table, explained everything they did wrong, and explained what they could be doing right. By far the best I’ve seen.
I think most people care because one guy continuously posted harmful content for years before scamming people out of millions twice and another guy was exposed for creating an extremely unsafe work environment and employing/protecting two literal child predators before releasing a children's snack product. I don't think people are just attacking them for the ratio.
Along with that kids.. don't need that many electrolytes.. but yea!! love how Doctor Mike lays it out, hope they'll make an effort to actually make a healthy lunch meal, and it not just be a cash grab ( though I doubt its gonna happen.. )
@@hakrj12Woa fr? Do you have a source please. That’s heartbreaking if true. Edit: I was curious so I looked for a source myself. Yeah that’s so sad. I really looked up to him. You can’t trust any influencers anymore. Thank you.
Honestly, Dr. Mike, i appreciate that you’re spreading awareness about stuff like this. My mom was a PA so I got a lot of info on what was wrong right off the bat. Not everyone gets that luxury and you are providing people with that important information so people can stay healthy. Appreciate you
This isn’t about making healthier lunches for kids. It’s about growing their influence and getting children comfortable with buying influencer products to continue making them money in the future.
@@stoneyrules Kids aren't saying "I want to grow up and be a corporation", yet tons of them when you ask what they want to be say "RUclipsr" or "Influencer".
@@violettbun I think you underestimate the power of commercials. That's exactly what commercials do to everyone. Everyone also says "but they don't work" and then goes home to their Kleenex box, drinking Coca-Cola and lying down on a La-Z-Boy before swiping open their iPhone. Right, advertising isn't as dangerous as influencers. Children don't have buying power so influencers don't have the ability to sway kids to buy their products. Their parents would have to do it.
Basically make them ultra brain rot levels of colorful then market them to little kids who’s parents have no idea what they are getting into. Not good at all
It’s also got extremely boring packaging clearly marketed to pocket parents money with the big prime bottle ( a company that’s only selling cause it’s a RUclipsrs product )
MY GOD! You actually mentioned vaping in regards to harm reduction, specifically tobacco harm reduction. Thank you Dr. Mike!!!!!!!!!! You have no idea how much that makes my day.
I understand why you'd think the criticisms leveled at these creators for trying to create a successful product are unfair, but I think the key is the actual influencers involved. With Mr. Beast already in the spotlight for marketing lotteries at kids and hiring convicted child sex criminals, and Logan already in the spotlight for scamming his (mostly child) fans and using litigation to cover it up, I think the concern people have is the attitude/care these people ACTUALLY have for their child fanbase.
Logan is such a POS that giving him the benefit of the doubt is beyond silly. They know they're lying and they keep doing it to scam their audience over and over
@@werdwerdus Not sure that's completely accurate. Like, Jimmy's got a TON of stuff going on. To be honest, I think he's got too much going on. Between the RUclips content and the businesses the dude is probably stretched to the point where he literally cannot quality control much of anything. Paul's got his own issues that don't stem from such overstretching, but I think Jimmy would be better off if he just toned his ambition down a bit.
THIS THIS THIS THIS!!!! To me, this is just a way to advertise to children in a mostly legal way. They know that once their child fans hear about this, they'll beg their parents. And it's literally double the price of a lunchable.
"Our poison is slightly better than their poison. Oh, and ours has electrolytes too!" Edit: funny how Beast and Logan fans got really upset at my comment but couldn't dispute the content 🤣
Finally Dr Mike calling this out. This gets an upvote from me. RUclipsrs jumping in other careers should be held to the same standards (actually higher due to their influence) in their new endeavors
@@Justarandomchineseguy They are kids, not sperm. They can handle that Creed. You just want generations of people that get progressively weaker and beta male per generation to normalize your inferior Human body shape. That is bad.
Wait wait wait: Prime vs Gatorade: Prime ended up being way too sweet to be a sports drink Feastables vs Hershey: Began healthier than Hershey, became even less healthy than it Lunchly vs Lunchables: TBD Sooooo basically, all these products ended up being WORSE than the thing they compared themselves to by saying they were better for you. If this is the case, then will Lunchly end up having MORE lead or MORE sodium than lunchables?
I took a look at the nutrition and the difference between the two is pretty marginal, and whatever point shavings they did on calories or sugar they won't compare sodium levels on their graphics because its still astronomical.
Hey dr. Mike you now have my respect y? U made a clear statement mostly you did Not put a sponsor ad in respect. Oh yeah im pressing the subscribe button. Nice job
Sure, but I also think that those are separate to this topic. The problems here are that they're advertising something as 'healthy' to kids when it's not, and it's better to address that directly instead of attacking this with other potential wrongdoings, if that makes sense.
I think they added it thinking "Oh the packaging is safe soo that means it won't get moldy that easily" but the way they worded it seems like the package is cool and that's it
so glad you brought up the low calorie count as a drawback. I teach elementary school, and those kids can EAT! they need so much energy, and it's so tough when parents send kids to school with not enough/low-quality lunch. I understand it's not necessarily the parents' fault (high cost of nutritious food, very little time to get lunches packed, picky eaters, etc) but it still makes life harder for the kid (and their teachers) when they're hungry, tired, and grumpy all day.
"Prime Energy drinks state on their packaging that they are not suitable for individuals under 18. This is in line with FDA guidelines that recommend limiting caffeine intake in young people. Parents should be particularly cautious to prevent accidental consumption of Prime Energy by children" isn't this what Prime says about themselves too.
It's so interesting to hear a professional opinion on this. Your videos are always so interesting to me, as someone who dreams of studying medicine one day!
Dr Mike is always reasonable, earnest, honest and direct, without being disrespectful. The thing is, when you have integrity you don't need to attack people
I am taking research in psychology and learning about consuming research what to watch out for. Due to this I am always questioning who says what and love your values in spreading information and doing your best to be a decent human being when it comes down to it. Doing our best to be non biased makes us better producers and consumers of research.I always enjoy listening to your podcast and short videos, in hopes to be on your show one day!
I agree with UPFs. I noticed I gained weight, and worse dental health when working at my part-time job Panera. It was 50% of my diet and I quickly had to take action and cut back on my ease of access to soda, sweets and add other variety to my diet.
@@xoxocessa The difference between the avarage thinking people and the doctor's factual statements is that Mike provides more reasons to why Lunchly is not recommended for kids, and explain the influence and side effects of the chemicals that are the product contains. In general u are right, but its generally good that he made this video.
I know that smoking vs vaping wasn't the point of this video, but THANK YOU for saying you would recommend a smoker replace traditional cigarettes with vapes as a step down. My father is a lifelong smoker (thankfully otherwise in good health) and after multiple unsuccessful attempts to quit over the years, he switched to vaping. I love my father and I'm glad that he has found something slightly less terrible for him, since he was not able to quit.
That’s what vapes were originally intended for, as a safer way for traditional smokers to wean off nicotine. It’s unfortunate they’ve become an entire problem of their own.
Yup. I was a smoker since 8-9 years, thanks to the vaping i am smoke free now. But I DIY my own juice, now dropped to 12mg nic and the stuff i vape is mostly unflavored or tobacco. I'm feeling much better overall compared to the time i was smoking. But stay out of disposable vapes they're not good for your health and for the environment.
@@TheElf_Onlinedisposable vapes are the actual problem. Most come with like 30-40% flavor which is an insane amount to put in your lungs and not to mention how they're designed to look cool for kids. I even saw one that had a screen with games in it. I heard UK is getting ready to ban all of the disposable vapes by the next year which is good to hear, and hopefully other countries will ban them as well.
Doctor Mike thank you for this information we are talking about lunchly for our radio show and this happens to be what I am using as my main source of info I can't wait to talk about it Monday and pls keep sharing health info it's helps so much with me and many others ty
Probably the best breakdown of this whole issue I've seen so far, glad to see someone who's not interested in the people making it but rather mainly focuses on the health claims.
Thank you for weighing in on this with such a scientific approach and avoiding all of the drama. Very much needed for the kids and parents to be able to see why they shouldn't eat this in product regardless of now they feel about these particular RUclipsrs.
People love to discuss electrolytes in their diets but have zero clue about what they actually do for their body, or even what electrolytes are. Glad to see you informing as always!
More importantly, it's the math that matters. Everything is poison and everything is medicine (with rare exceptions, obviously). It's all about the dosage. Is 200 mg of sodium a lot? No. Is 400 mg a lot? No, unless you intend to eat something like that 6x a day.
I don't know how you make a topic that I usually think is boring, so entertaining. I can't imagine calculating all this nutritional stuff for a video, but you did anyway, thank you so much!
Aprecio profundamente la claridad con la que explicas este tema. Soy una persona que da gran importancia a su salud; llevo años cuidando mi alimentación, y me resulta preocupante observar cómo algunas personas asocian el término 'saludable' con productos ultraprocesados, lo cual revela una gran falta de información. Comparto plenamente tu visión y valoro que difundas esta misma perspectiva. Considero fundamental que la gente conozca realmente lo que consume, especialmente los niños, quienes en muchos casos no reciben la orientación adecuada sobre una alimentación saludable, sobre todo en Estados Unidos, donde un alto porcentaje de la población parece no otorgarle la importancia que merece. Gracias por contribuir a esta causa tan necesaria.
This is why I always stay up to date on your content and do my research. Thank you Dr. Mike! I hope they saw this video and listen to your recommendations. Awesome work😊
Thank you for making this video. Growing up, my mom didn't let my sister & me eat Lunchables, Kid Cuisine, & other lunch kits, which I'm pretty thankful for. I respect the fact you didn't attack the creators personally, but the nutritional facts & claims they made.
props to the kids and the people who never get to have this while still in school, youre the one that aren't spoiled and will survive your future even in the most down bad moment
I remember in elementary school being jealous of other kids with lunchables not realizing how good I had it with my mom making my lunches with real food. Thanks, Mom!
Yoooo, facts!!
Yeah, funny enough when i was in elementary school i had lunchables. But a few years later i saw on how unhealthy they were, and also how much lead is contained within them, however, i took action into my own hands and learn to just make breakfast and lunch myself.

Lunchly is "healthier" than Lunchables is like saying drinking 23 beers a week is healthier than drinking 24. Technically that's right. Great video (as always!)
Mm now I'm thirsty
i love this comparison
They might as well launch their own brand of cigarettes, that contain 10% less sugar and twice the electrolytes.
Another good comparison I've heard from another video on Lunchly is that it's like comparing smoking and vaping

I'm from Chile, South America. It really surprises me how people in the United States are so used to eating processed food for breakfast or lunch. I am grateful to have had a mother who was used to healthy food, there is always fruit at home and we don't even drink soda or processed juices.
As someone in America my dad is very good at buying healthy food. I think I’ve had parts of my friends lunchable but never have actually eaten it for lunch!
Processed foods are way cheaper and they also come in bulk. So it’s way more tempting to buy a bag of chicken nuggets that last a month than fresh fruits that cost the same but only last a week.
Chile has the worst numbers for child obesity in Latin America, I am glad your family was healthy but overall the nutrition of the country is not the best, especially compared to it's neighbors is the region
I was travelling to South america (Peru, Chile, argentina) for 9 months. I Was on a budget and my impression was: it is super cheap(ok, just my view as a german) to eat super healthy food. On the local markets and food courts there is a big variety and super quality of unprocessed food.
In supermarkets there are all Kind of big brands i know from europe & US aswell but they are VERY, VERY expensive compared to the unprocessed food.
But i had the impression from the local community if you "made" it you can afford the foreign stuff and it is more like a status symbol.
As said i Was on a budget and could not afford stuff like chocolate that much. In 9 months there i lost almost 15kg(ok, other Lifestyle aswell... Much hiking etc)
@ Yeah usually cheap stuff is the bad stuff for you, and the healthy stuff is expensive, so sometimes people don’t have a choice. It sucks.
such an important lesson for consumers to learn! "healthier" does not mean "HEALTHY"!
Healthier by 0.001% percent 😭

Adding meaningful discourse without overtly attacking someone is so difficult to do. I think Doc really did a wonderful job with this one. It's a video that makes you think. One that highlights the importance of taking things with a grain of salt.

One major issue I don’t see being brought up enough is that due to the involvement of these popular influencers, kids who had never eaten lunchables will beg their parents to have lunchly like their peers. So many kids who would not regularly have Gatorade or hersheys would line up for prime or feastables just to be cool in front of their peers.

The idea that Lunchly was promoted to be "healthier" or "better for you" than Lunchables got under my skin because this not only sounded like some bitter competition to me, but even I have known how untrue that was. I remember being so jealous of kids that did have Lunchables when I was growing up in school. They wouldn't even share a bite if I asked. My parents refused to purchase them because they found them non-nutritious. They sometimes made the lunches or I did when I could learn. I have never eaten one until today and don't regret it. As a result of the encouragement, I can prepare better meals than either of these packaged ones. A massive "Thank You" to my parents and to Doctor Mike for this video.

As a mom, my biggest issue with Lunchables and the like is that the marketing is predatory. Children don't have the knowledge about nutrition to discern whether or not the marketing is honest. They just blindly believe it and walk away thinking that ultraprocessed food it healthy. Also, can we address the cost of stuff like this???? I can pack a much healthier and calorie dense version of this for the same cost!
Unfortunately, very healthy foods are expensive.
And all you have to do is help to understand what marketing and advertisements are, pay more attention to what they're consuming, whilst proving without a shadow of a doubt, that what you say is correct, but at the end of the day, there's gonna be some FOMO in their underdeveloped mind.

I'm not sure anyone is attacking them for "trying to create a successful influencer product." They're being rightfully attacked for aggressively marketing a product to children that is not in any way good for children. It's sugar, sodium, and fat (and possibly also lead which has been found in Prime before) in colorful packaging. If we can rip into cereal brands for marketing sugar bombs to kids, there is no reason we should not be allowed to rip into these three equally guilty people.
Yeah, that and Prime has already had like two or three recalls for lead being in the product.

Everything was about getting the latest color or finding the "rare ones" and of course they were all unreasonably expensive bottles containing mostly food dye and sugar, sometimes with trace amounts of lead for good measure. Now the hype of Prime has died down and LP risk getting sued by the manufacturer because he can't deliver on his promise of an endless market so the slimy fucker needs new ways to shift inventory.

7:49 Their marketing revolves around them criticizing Lunchables in the most biassed ways possible, I think it's fair.

I know it’s against the law in the Netherlands but is it also illegal in America to directly market wgain a competitor.

So their marketing strategy is against marketing regulations in the Netherlands, but how does that work in America?
@@DuvaineCastelen From what I recall hearing, here in the US it's legal to say "Our product is the best" because that's not something that's ever provable objectively, but if you say "Our product is better than this product", it NEEDS to be objectively true, because "better than" is something objectively quantifiable, especially if you get specific on why. However, you CAN also say "better than the leading brands", and then put a tiny piece of disclaimer info somewhere in your ad to protect yourself specifying what you compared against.
That's our Truth in Advertising.
@@NimonoSolenze ahh, okay, so similar with a few differences. It seems fair you can say “better than” if provable.

my mum would pack a lunchables cracker pack, sliced apple, a small chocolate bar, a pack of crisps and a capri-sun or sunny-D, they were fine but by the time we'd get home we'd be looking for a snack
my dad used to pack a ham or chicken sandwich, sliced pear, a little cheese, a packet of crisps and a bottle of juice, it was a boring lunch but by the time we'd get home we didn't want a snack.
dad always made sure we were well fed and didn't eat too much junk food, chocolate, sweets or fizzy drinks. i'll do the same when I have my kid. he taught us how to look after ourselves and what to look out for when shopping i'll be forever greatful for that it's something everyone should teach their kids
(may dad rest in peace, knowing we all are greatful for his dedication to us)
Best criticism I’ve seen so far. Most people on Twitter don’t actually care anything about this and only want a chance to ratio the big creators.
You laid everything out on the table, explained everything they did wrong, and explained what they could be doing right. By far the best I’ve seen.
I think most people care because one guy continuously posted harmful content for years before scamming people out of millions twice and another guy was exposed for creating an extremely unsafe work environment and employing/protecting two literal child predators before releasing a children's snack product. I don't think people are just attacking them for the ratio.
Along with that kids.. don't need that many electrolytes.. but yea!! love how Doctor Mike lays it out, hope they'll make an effort to actually make a healthy lunch meal, and it not just be a cash grab ( though I doubt its gonna happen.. )
finally a sensible comment

Ever the dependable GP and lovable family doctor, thanks for the unbiased information Dr Mike.

@@hakrj12Woa fr? Do you have a source please. That’s heartbreaking if true. Edit: I was curious so I looked for a source myself. Yeah that’s so sad. I really looked up to him. You can’t trust any influencers anymore. Thank you.
@@hakrj12what
I appreciate how you wanted to keep it unbiased and said that you were only trying to help
Keep it up!
Honestly, Dr. Mike, i appreciate that you’re spreading awareness about stuff like this. My mom was a PA so I got a lot of info on what was wrong right off the bat. Not everyone gets that luxury and you are providing people with that important information so people can stay healthy. Appreciate you
This isn’t about making healthier lunches for kids. It’s about growing their influence and getting children comfortable with buying influencer products to continue making them money in the future.
Exactly. It's just selfish and an attempt at making more money. Kids really have a need for healthy and easy to get lunch options here in the States
What's the difference between them or a corporation? It's a product all the same
@@stoneyrulesthe difference is that the person telling them to buy the product is a youtuber they watch and admire everyday.
@@stoneyrules Kids aren't saying "I want to grow up and be a corporation", yet tons of them when you ask what they want to be say "RUclipsr" or "Influencer".
@@violettbun I think you underestimate the power of commercials. That's exactly what commercials do to everyone. Everyone also says "but they don't work" and then goes home to their Kleenex box, drinking Coca-Cola and lying down on a La-Z-Boy before swiping open their iPhone.
Right, advertising isn't as dangerous as influencers.
Children don't have buying power so influencers don't have the ability to sway kids to buy their products. Their parents would have to do it.
'Bold packaging' being an official selling point is wild
Basically make them ultra brain rot levels of colorful then market them to little kids who’s parents have no idea what they are getting into.
Not good at all
It’s also got extremely boring packaging clearly marketed to pocket parents money with the big prime bottle ( a company that’s only selling cause it’s a RUclipsrs product )

YO THE Bot found us LOL
MY GOD! You actually mentioned vaping in regards to harm reduction, specifically tobacco harm reduction. Thank you Dr. Mike!!!!!!!!!! You have no idea how much that makes my day.
I understand why you'd think the criticisms leveled at these creators for trying to create a successful product are unfair, but I think the key is the actual influencers involved. With Mr. Beast already in the spotlight for marketing lotteries at kids and hiring convicted child sex criminals, and Logan already in the spotlight for scamming his (mostly child) fans and using litigation to cover it up, I think the concern people have is the attitude/care these people ACTUALLY have for their child fanbase.
💯
they try to have a nice public image but behind the scenes or swept under the rug you can see they are all about the money and clout
Logan is such a POS that giving him the benefit of the doubt is beyond silly. They know they're lying and they keep doing it to scam their audience over and over
@@werdwerdus Not sure that's completely accurate.
Like, Jimmy's got a TON of stuff going on.
To be honest, I think he's got too much going on.
Between the RUclips content and the businesses the dude is probably stretched to the point where he literally cannot quality control much of anything.
Paul's got his own issues that don't stem from such overstretching, but I think Jimmy would be better off if he just toned his ambition down a bit.
@@bolbyballinger obv not if hes willing to work with a known scammer
THIS THIS THIS THIS!!!! To me, this is just a way to advertise to children in a mostly legal way. They know that once their child fans hear about this, they'll beg their parents. And it's literally double the price of a lunchable.
"Our poison is slightly better than their poison. Oh, and ours has electrolytes too!"
Edit: funny how Beast and Logan fans got really upset at my comment but couldn't dispute the content 🤣
There is nothing in Lunchly that is poison. Please don’t go around speaking false information
me when I have to choose between poison, and poison (salty)

I'm pickin' OG poison any day of the week. fvck the calories.
No one is forcing you mate. You don't have to buy it 🤦♂️
Finally Dr Mike calling this out. This gets an upvote from me. RUclipsrs jumping in other careers should be held to the same standards (actually higher due to their influence) in their new endeavors
Not higher. Same.
Logan Paul shouldn't be held to a higher standard than Trump or Warren Buffett.

The worst part is that some people found MOLD in the Lunchly
kids under 13 shouldn’t even be drinking prime..
@@RobinTheMetaGod more like you want people to be weak and stupid by letting them drink something that isn't even meant for them

They are kids, not sperm. They can handle that Creed.
You just want generations of people that get progressively weaker and beta male per generation to normalize your inferior Human body shape.
That is bad.
@Justarandomchineseguy I drunk prime before
I'm fine
@@George-w5mclearly not cause you said drunk instead of drank 😭
the ones in the lunchlys are caffeine free, so, honestly, it’s fine, i just don’t think kids will like it

Wait wait wait:
Prime vs Gatorade: Prime ended up being way too sweet to be a sports drink
Feastables vs Hershey: Began healthier than Hershey, became even less healthy than it
Lunchly vs Lunchables: TBD
Sooooo basically, all these products ended up being WORSE than the thing they compared themselves to by saying they were better for you.
If this is the case, then will Lunchly end up having MORE lead or MORE sodium than lunchables?
More likely sodium
crazy
coconut has lead, it sucks it up during transport or through soil, lead is bad for you but only in significant amounts.
its like microplastics, everything has it but its not in toxic amounts
I took a look at the nutrition and the difference between the two is pretty marginal, and whatever point shavings they did on calories or sugar they won't compare sodium levels on their graphics because its still astronomical.
Hey dr. Mike you now have my respect y? U made a clear statement mostly you did Not put a sponsor ad in respect. Oh yeah im pressing the subscribe button. Nice job
Yoh, the criticism is justified, logan is a scammer, mr beast works with convicted pdf files, and also scam people, ksi is anoying as hell😢
bro u just a hater lmao
@@Jordanchen8047 bro that's just a fact deal with it
Sure, but I also think that those are separate to this topic. The problems here are that they're advertising something as 'healthy' to kids when it's not, and it's better to address that directly instead of attacking this with other potential wrongdoings, if that makes sense.
@@Jordanchen8047I mean the Mr Beast thing is right
Logan hired someone who then stole money and had to pay it back
KSI is KSI😂
@@coolworms7297 nothing is healthy
Saying it might be slightly healthier isn't a flex either
Love how they said how Prime was a sports drink, not a kids drink. Now what? Prime for the kids every lunch every day
Prime isn't even a good sports drink. It's too low in sodium and much higher in potassium, which makes it taste better. Doesn't make it work better.
whatever makes the product sell i guess
Well Prime hydration is for kids, while Prime Energy is for adults.
I wouldn't feed something branded by a youtuber to a kid I didn't like, let alone my own.
@@Anna-i4r8yWhy not post it on a comment where he hearted or replied? No one is gonna see this here.
2:38 How is one of their health benefits “BOLD PACKAGING” 😂😂😭😭
Emotional support 😊
I think they added it thinking "Oh the packaging is safe soo that means it won't get moldy that easily" but the way they worded it seems like the package is cool and that's it
so glad you brought up the low calorie count as a drawback. I teach elementary school, and those kids can EAT! they need so much energy, and it's so tough when parents send kids to school with not enough/low-quality lunch. I understand it's not necessarily the parents' fault (high cost of nutritious food, very little time to get lunches packed, picky eaters, etc) but it still makes life harder for the kid (and their teachers) when they're hungry, tired, and grumpy all day.
Thank you mike for being non biased so that i can trust you
Like Mike said Lunchly needs to come a long way, even though it's only "technically" better. I trust Mike too.
@CaytonMyler You trust the guy that told you to stay home no matter what ... then went to a boat party in Florida. OK

"Prime Energy drinks state on their packaging that they are not suitable for individuals under 18. This is in line with FDA guidelines that recommend limiting caffeine intake in young people. Parents should be particularly cautious to prevent accidental consumption of Prime Energy by children" isn't this what Prime says about themselves too.
Prime Energy and Prime Hydration are two different products.

One of the best videos, I’ve seen on this platform in a while. Incredibly informative without attacking anyone
Dr Mike is always reasonable, earnest, honest and direct, without being disrespectful. The thing is, when you have integrity you don't need to attack people

Love when both doctors I trust (Dr. Brian and Dr. Mike) talk about the same problem.
I agree with UPFs. I noticed I gained weight, and worse dental health when working at my part-time job Panera. It was 50% of my diet and I quickly had to take action and cut back on my ease of access to soda, sweets and add other variety to my diet.
Thanks for cutting through the marketing Dr. Mike. Glad to have you out there dispelling misinformation used to sell crappy products.

It really doesn’t take that much brain power to determine it’s not a good option for children, regardless…
@@xoxocessa The difference between the avarage thinking people and the doctor's factual statements is that Mike provides more reasons to why Lunchly is not recommended for kids, and explain the influence and side effects of the chemicals that are the product contains. In general u are right, but its generally good that he made this video.
I know that smoking vs vaping wasn't the point of this video, but THANK YOU for saying you would recommend a smoker replace traditional cigarettes with vapes as a step down. My father is a lifelong smoker (thankfully otherwise in good health) and after multiple unsuccessful attempts to quit over the years, he switched to vaping. I love my father and I'm glad that he has found something slightly less terrible for him, since he was not able to quit.
That’s what vapes were originally intended for, as a safer way for traditional smokers to wean off nicotine. It’s unfortunate they’ve become an entire problem of their own.
Yes! Thats wonderful news for your dad :D i also agree with the comment above me its sad to see that vapes are being used for the wrong purpose 🫤
Yup. I was a smoker since 8-9 years, thanks to the vaping i am smoke free now. But I DIY my own juice, now dropped to 12mg nic and the stuff i vape is mostly unflavored or tobacco. I'm feeling much better overall compared to the time i was smoking. But stay out of disposable vapes they're not good for your health and for the environment.
@@TheElf_Onlinedisposable vapes are the actual problem. Most come with like 30-40% flavor which is an insane amount to put in your lungs and not to mention how they're designed to look cool for kids. I even saw one that had a screen with games in it. I heard UK is getting ready to ban all of the disposable vapes by the next year which is good to hear, and hopefully other countries will ban them as well.
Doctor Mike thank you for this information we are talking about lunchly for our radio show and this happens to be what I am using as my main source of info I can't wait to talk about it Monday and pls keep sharing health info it's helps so much with me and many others ty
And you are getting a shoutout
Probably the best breakdown of this whole issue I've seen so far, glad to see someone who's not interested in the people making it but rather mainly focuses on the health claims.
Thank you for weighing in on this with such a scientific approach and avoiding all of the drama. Very much needed for the kids and parents to be able to see why they shouldn't eat this in product regardless of now they feel about these particular RUclipsrs.

Ah lord above, are we actually going down the Idiocracy route with electralytes? Lmao
People love to discuss electrolytes in their diets but have zero clue about what they actually do for their body, or even what electrolytes are. Glad to see you informing as always!
More importantly, it's the math that matters. Everything is poison and everything is medicine (with rare exceptions, obviously). It's all about the dosage. Is 200 mg of sodium a lot? No. Is 400 mg a lot? No, unless you intend to eat something like that 6x a day.

Aprecio profundamente la claridad con la que explicas este tema. Soy una persona que da gran importancia a su salud; llevo años cuidando mi alimentación, y me resulta preocupante observar cómo algunas personas asocian el término 'saludable' con productos ultraprocesados, lo cual revela una gran falta de información. Comparto plenamente tu visión y valoro que difundas esta misma perspectiva. Considero fundamental que la gente conozca realmente lo que consume, especialmente los niños, quienes en muchos casos no reciben la orientación adecuada sobre una alimentación saludable, sobre todo en Estados Unidos, donde un alto porcentaje de la población parece no otorgarle la importancia que merece. Gracias por contribuir a esta causa tan necesaria.
