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.

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.

@@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.

I hate ads/products that target kids

[@hajimenagumo2199]

I hate the parents who tell them yes.

@ErfaanAdeeb You are narrow minded if you didn't get his point.

[@blackmantis3130]

​@@secondsquirrel1168the comment was contradictory

[@yuunkuro2616]

Same

[@maddie6321]

I mean if it's targeted at kids it should atleast not be harmful. Otherwise it just feels like exploiting them and the parents who are begged to get stuff like these.

It makes me happy not everyone in social media is sold, keep up the incredible work.

It really doesn’t take that much brain power to determine it’s not a good option for children, regardless…

[@CineverseSculpt]

@@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.

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.

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.

hello, Colombian artist here. Recently we received in our class a woman from the US that was visiting us and among the things we were talking about she mentioned how poor was the US food compared to Colombian food in terms of health. The reason I mention this is to encourage you all USA friends to start taking action about food balance and specially healthy nutrition for kids, because the last thing we want in this world is a young population of unhealthy people that might be nothing but the face of suffering. For a better future everyone has to act.

[@WildflowersCreations]

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 KZbinrs.

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!

[@bkweddle7599]

Thanks for cutting through the marketing Dr. Mike. Glad to have you out there dispelling misinformation used to sell crappy products.

This clearly seems like a product which can be given to kids for a change in taste once in a while but not a replacement for a healthy meal which they can eat daily

[@Amiruny]

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

[@xerobeats_official]

Love when both doctors I trust (Dr. Brian and Dr. Mike) talk about the same problem.

[@veryweirdyoutuber]

Never bought it, NEVER BUYING IT. Thank you Doc, love your vids
