@drstone3498 processing is the act of making food last longer through changing the content and breakdown of the food. Cooking is, ofc, a basic processing method which can elongate your food’s lifespan by a few days if it was already in the fridge for a bit since it kills any bacteria that was on the raw product. Processing in this context, though, is the use of additives and other products to stabilize foods for long periods, and especially without the need of specific stabilizing environments like being particularly cold or hot for consumption . Basic processing in of itself and in its most common form is salt - which is minimal and has been around for centuries, but we also know it’s not necessarily healthy to eat in large volumes. Same applies to other preservation options. Likewise, eating large amounts of other products, or eating large amounts of otherwise healthy products that has absorbed other bad biproducts like lead or mercury, can ultimately lead to worse health outcomes. Basically, eat everything in moderation, and you’ll be fine.
Me too! I'm having to just listen to the video, instead of watching it, cuz it's stressing me out for some reason. I hope they don't do this going forward!

THANK YOU FOR MENTIONING THE CALORIE ISSUE AT THE FOREFRONT. I have seen *a lot* of videos about Lunchly vs. Lunchable and only like three of them actually mentioned the calorie thing. The thing that grinds my gears the most about Lunchly is the fact that is *advertised* low calories and helps contribute to the "all calories = bad" narrative. The fact that the calorie comparison is the *first* thing addressed in this video makes me so happy. Thank you! Edit. Oh wow this got seen by a lot more people than I thought (currently 1.1k likes). I'm glad I'm not the only one ❤️.
@@Bunny_Bill yes. Thank you for speaking facts, as, even TNT has calories, it just releases those calories at like 4 to 8 times the speed of sound, please correct me if i am wrong.
@@Bunny_Bill exactly. But if I must be honest, had lunchy had even more calories that kids can have, maybe lunchy could have been safe but you know, the mold issue and some other minor things but yeah that's about it. Jimmy kinda left the lunchy thing behind and has collaborated with Zaxby's in a meal, which is kinda a smart move.
Yes, glad to see people saying this stuff. The only good thing is less table sugar. They should try freeze-dried fruits, those taste great. I buy them in bulk. The low calorie angle works for snacks, like low cal candy, ice cream, chips, etc. Or if they were advertised to adults as a nostalgic snack trying to avoid calories from a less than healthy source. So obviously, not a meal. This shouldn't be a meal. 🤦♀️
@@Rusty84CVthe issue people have with it is that it pulls your attention away from the content of the video. By your apprent logic, we should stop complaining about AI being pushed in everything that has a computer chip and deal with it
In case editors are looking for feedback about it, please dont keep the yellow bar for every chapter of the video It was super destracting both on phone and pc (Also thanks for all the hard work)
Also agree. They were very distracting to the point I thought it was a new UA-cam thing and was gonna look for a setting to turn off. The chapter markers that UA-cam gives are good enough for me. No need to make me question why there's a progress bar
i find it very helpful, and not annoying at all. since I mostly watch this videos while doing something else. being able to see how long the videos is without interacting with the screen is great.
Random pro-tip; but if you want a "home made" lunchables-like cold pizza- Pita bread, Spaghetti Sauce, Shredded Cheese, and Pepperoni. Still super cheap, and you get a lot more food than you get from a lunchable.
i feel like "Hillshire Snacking" meat and cheese packs are the only ones actually suitable for children, the only thing is that they're getting expensive
Both me and My nephew lovvve Homade Lunchable Pizza's. Though, TBH, we'll heat them up in our Air Fryer. The pita bread we get is roughly four/five times the size of a lunchable pizza so he can easily eat like two or three of them. I want to also add that he's eleven as of this post.
Love the video, but the bar on the bottom is very distracting for me... would rather not know when each section of the video is going to end while watching the video... if I wanted to do that I'd just look at the timeline.
As an Aussie, I don’t understand American parents at all. When my daughter (now an adult) was growing up, she was given healthy lunchboxes with homemade treats. Salad sandwiches, fruit, yoghurt, cheese, eggs……..everything was made from scratch. Pikelets, honey joys, sultanas, homemade pizzas on English muffins. She was even smart enough to trade lunch items with other kids. She would swap packets of potato chips and fruit rollups for homemade treats. After I discovered her rather smart plan, I included some purchased items like muesli bars into her lunches. Items like lunchables were foreign. Fruit and veggies were staples. Even savoury items like muffins were included. Some dinner leftovers were part of lunches. Pack everything with frozen ice bricks and a cold water bottle and it was good. I know parents may be time poor these days, but if you add some meal planning and healthy shopping, it can be done.
companies feed us their lies so we buy more of the products. Recently saw a conglomerate cereal ad with some milk next to it saying it's less than $1 per meal
A good reason for that is how much less time we have in america before school. Expectation is to wake up at the latest six thirty in the morning, have an hour to get ready, catch the bus at seven thirty, and get to school bye eight between everyone needing to shower in the morning (mom, dad, 1+ kids) and then needing to spend time on food and any other self care before work most of the time a parent has maybe 5 minutes to throw something together for lunch for you, if they even have any time to. another big reason why cereals are a super common breakfast, because puring it into a bowl, adding milk, and eating, can be done in less than 5 minutes
Time, money, and space. The USA may as well be a corporate oligarchy. I think the last number I saw said that 1/3 of the population are considered lower-class. More and more households require two adults to work full-time to make ends meet. A lot of people don't have 'mom' available at home to dedicate a lot of time to meal-prep, nor do they have the disposable income to purchase quality food for on-the-go life. Even in the example here, $7ish a meal is a whole lot more than the $1.25 if you're feeling strapped. Moreover, gone are the days of 'victory gardens' where everyone was growing a little bit of something or kept chickens/ something small around. The time argument aside, many people live in compact spaces like apartments where they do not have a yard to put a garden in, or people rent and it's hard to justify attempting to put in a garden if you might have to vacate the property in a year- assuming the landlord or HOA would even let you put one in. Healthy meals can be done- even on a tight budget, but our society has set things up such that it is extremely hard and stressful to do so. Thankfully, there is a lot more education on what to look out for and how to try to accomplish this goal, but a monster has been created in this industry that will be hard to dismantle.
The yellow bar was distracting and had me wondering if it was a new UA-cam thing or if you guys did it, seeing as it's not on other videos I assume it's a Theory thing. Personally I hope that it's done away with.
Same, and the editing style is this episode made me not enjoy this episode as much as I did with others, and it lacks enthusiasm, which honestly made me extremely bored
@danielburleson563 well it's more distracting and annoying to me than most people, whenever I do something, I (I'm trying my best to explain this in a comprehensible way I'm not the best with explaining things in English or any language ngl) like get distracted easily, or annoyed from just watching something from far away, for example, I remember one day during school, a girl touched another's shoulder (they were friends, I don't personally know them) and even though I've been far away and it was just an observation, I felt tingles on my shoulder too, even tho I was far away, so yeah I find it personally sooooo anoying, and I'm not hating on the editors, or santi, i just felt like I wanted to talk about it, but no offence to anyone, I just wanted to share my personal opinion (sorry for any grammatical errors or spelling errors) aorry if I offended you
@@danielburleson563 Personally I kept thinking it was ad related because many other videos I watch will put a yellow bar at the bottom of the screen during an ad read. The bar is unnecessary because chapters and the video progress bar exist already.
16:45 I'm really sick of taking these little tiny baby things as a win. We all know how bad the nutrition situation for kids, it's as simple as increasing the budget and updating the standards. We spend so much money in the military, we can take some of that and spend it on our literal children.
i want to give some feed back on the experimental progression bar on the bottom: i think it's distracting and makes me anxious for something while in reality it's just the progression bar on the video chapter.
@@desireer6915 the theorist team have always tried to experiment like this even early on the game theory channel (a good chunk of the thumbnail optimization method on youtube are actually discovered by matpat and the team), so it's pretty normal for these kind of things to be snuck in to test something. usually these things stay for awhile (like 2-3 videos) then they either roll it back or ask for feed back on the last video using it.
I honestly dont understand how the country with the biggest economy can not feed its kids proper food? In the country where im from, India, the government started a programme in 2001 called the mid-day meal scheme and all public schools in India serves lunch for its children and its really nutritional. Usually it is rice, vegetables and Indian curry which have the calories for a child to grow and the nutrients for the child.
Yeah and the best part…most probably all of the lunches are vegetarian. Take some notes America because I’m vegetarian and I want to be able to eat a school lunch that’s good for me because it has no meat (I’m Hindu) and maybe see some dosa or paneer or something like that which is like the stuff my mom makes for me for my lunch or dinner
India has one of the lowest life expectancy while pushing a diet program lacking in meat. While Hong Kong has a high meat consumption and one of the worlds highest life expectancy. India also has higher rates for type2d, and other diseases. Some schools in India block parents from packing home lunches with meat at the risk of expulsion for the kids. Yes these are correlations, but so is all nutrition science. Sounds like a nightmare to me for the government to have such power over it's peoples health. Choice should always be the standard, when "others" choose for you, you are not free. You should be free to choose your own diet based on your beliefs, even if at the expense of your own health. Meat is very nutrient dense. It is non inflammatory in the absence of carbs and sugar, and it's nutrients very bio-available, and it's amino acid profile very balanced. Vitamins and nutrients compete in absorption in cells with glucose. Chronically elevated glucose levels leads to inflammation. There are no essential carbohydrates.
I remember Pancake Lunchables. They were discontinued due to very vocal groups complaining about the syrup being just extra sugar, or made of corn syrup, or just being bad for you. Also, Moms weren't buying a lot of them for those same reasons. And they were mostly stocked in convenience stores for some reason.
if the world didn't want "just more sugar" on the already CAKE known as "panCAKES"/flapjacks,etc they shouldn't've invented syrup in the first place. full disclosure I have no idea where the pancake was invented.
Thank you, I've been hearing too many people claim theses lunch snacks have too many calories, but I've been so confused by that idea. 200 calories is not alot and is really little for an active child.
They are also calorie dense, like even for a kid a lunchable will hardly fill them up and if the solution to that is another lunchable the unhealthy aspects double while still barely meeting minimum calorie requirements.
As a person that lives in Romania,which doesn't have these kinds of lunch kits as far as i know and also ate a lot of unhealthy stuff as a kid, just put your kid a sanwhich,a good and consistent sandwhich if you can afford.Take that 15 minutes you use to scroll in the morning or at night and just prep their meal. When they are old enough teach them to prep their own school lunch.
Can you do a food theory about the nutritional value and dangers of instant noodles? I love instant noodles but recently I've been hearing a lot of scary things about the illnesses it can cause but I don't know what sources I can trust. I'd love it if food theory could make a video informing us about it. Great video btw!
They are the same product minus mould in the case of Lunchly. However, getting real specific it's kinda balanced out due to Lunchly (when it ISNT mouldy) being slightly healthier. So its if Luncables is deadly, Lunchly is the same. If Lunchly is deathly, so is Lunchables. Both are as bad as the other
hey, food theorists, i work in cheese making. the reason the cheese in an unnamed lunch kit is moldy is because of what they call "real cheese". cheese needs a lot processing for preservation, or it gets moldy rather quickly. not only would salt not be able to be added to the cheese-despite higher sodium than lunchables-along with other preservations, but they also have much higher moisture content, which attracts mold. basically every cheese in the u.s. doesn’t have to call it processed cheese for that reason: most, if not all of it is literally needed.
As an european can you also tell why lunchables and many other products can not call their cheese cheese? Is it because they process it too much, or they replace natural ingredients with chemicals?
Something you also need to take into account for is the packaging and sealing process. It seems like there was an issue with the sealing mechanism causing an environment where mold can grow. That being said, I buy real cheese at the supermarket generally without mold, by virtue of this wonderful thing called quality assurance, which was clearly severely lacking in the Unnamed Food’s factory line. Which is why I feel little to no remorse for their moldy outcomes, real cheese or not.
@@anomalocaris2593 Usually its because of how processed they are. For example, Kraft singles are actually made pretty similarly to normal cheese, but don't have enough cheese curds to be legally called cheese. This is because they use a lot of extra added fats compared to what real cheese uses. So its not actually that its all extra chemicals, even if some is, it's just not the right proportions of real ingredients to be called cheese in the US.
When my wife was a kid, she had Lunchables often. One day, without looking at it, she started her Lunchables lunch with the included candy bar. She looked down at the candy bar, and was mortified to learn that she had also bitten through a small roach that had been packaged with the chocolate. Ever since then, she has never touched a Lunchables box ever again.
1. Yes santi I recall the pancake lunchables 2. This is why you add things like fruits and veggies to the Lunchable equivalent. Its not a one stop shop, its just a quick base meal for emergencies when you run out of lunchmeat.
@@MusharnaMushmaybe both was in the fridge and they just wait till they run out of everything else to eat it. So they have something put away when they need it.
I remember my dad getting me one then taking me to the park. It's one of my favorite memories. But other than that it was home cooked meals or the free lunches at school.
Didn't expect to see a fellow finn here! But true! Even if the food 99% tastes awful I guess it's still better than these. But the school porridge at least to me was the best meal in school also pea soup was the only good soup.
@@umbreon2110 I guess I’m more forgiving towards our school lunches since I enjoyed most of them to the point I ended up working in a school and still occasionally eat at the lunchroom.
I’ve never liked the processed nature of lunchables (though I’ll eat a pizza lunchable occasionally 🤤) but when my son started showing signs of ARFID and showed interest in another kid’s lunchable, I started making him his own and he loves them! I just always add a fruit to make it a little more balanced. I also found some locally sourced pre-packaged organic ones that I will buy sometimes if I’m too busy to make them myself.
I like that the in video chapter timeline was easier to understand than the one UA-cam has, but I did find it a little distracting. When I wanted to look at it, it was very helpful. When I didn’t want to look at it, I was still looking at it.
My assumption growing up was that everyone knew lunchables weren't that healthy, but we're a fun sometimes food. Now I work in k-12 and... Yeah, no most parents are very aware of that and those who aren't don't have the financial means to buy them often anyway. This whole fiasco confuses me.
yeah no one who wants to save money would buy lunchables when cafeteria food are so much cheaper only people i see at walmart who actually do buy lunchables in bulk have EBT cards
@@gravities In school I didn't have a cafeteria until high school. So a packed lunch was the only option. That said I thought the same about these being a sometimes food. That is at least how my mum saw it. She would also give us a fruit or veg on the side I believe. We just really loved making our own little pizza for lunch.
we don't need a loading bar at the bottom to mark the length of the chapter. that's what the chapters thing on youtube is for. the yellow bar is just distracting
Really loved this episode! As feedback though I do want to say that the yellow bar at the bottom was a small bit distracting but if it’s here to stay it’s not the end of the world lol Thanks for all the hard work you do editors!
Lets go Santi! Definetly my favorite new Host. But why are videos coming out so quickly? Not that im complaining. Just curious. Hope you guys arent overworking yourselves. I really love these channels and Food Theory is my favourite. Mad respect to you all. Hats off to you sir. Ps. Will Food theory do a collab with Mat aswell since he showed up on the other channels already.
If you’re operating on the basis of one being “better” than the other, you’re missing the point. The metaphor I use here is it’s like if someone went and said “Hey I’m going to make a healthier alternative to the popular brand of poison” and then everyone went after them because the new poison wasn’t healthier and maybe even worse (and advertised dishonestly to impressionable children, but that kinda goes outside the bounds of this comparison). But the problem is, at the end of the day, they’re still BOTH POISON. Literally the old saying of “pick your poison”. We should not be feeding any brand of these sorts of kits to our kids if we want them to be healthy unless absolutely necessary, and if it’s necessary then we clearly have a different problem.
@Professor_Brie I see someone watched Dr Mike's videos and saw the point. How is someone gonna try and cope how "one is better" when both are bad (and that's putting it nicely)
You know, now that I'm a parent, this video is changing everything about the way I look at food for my kid. 😳 Like, come on, LEAD??? REALLY??? I thought we were past this by now!!! 😤
The "allowable amount of lead" as stated by the guidelines is FAR less than what's needed to cause damage. Of course lead is still bad, but remember, the dose makes the poison.
@@nairabhattiThat's not true. There is NO amount of lead that is negligible. It always has negative effects, the studies simply haven't been conducted over enough time to reveal lead's complete dangers at very small doses. Radiation exposure is similar, a lot has obvious consequences, but even a little can still cause a cancer that kills you given enough time.
I do not remember the pancake lunchable, but I am definitely not younger than you. However my side of the country never seem to get anything cool. So that would explain it. We didn't even get pickle Doritos 😭😭
8:55 I think it’s the fact they used (or claim to use) real cheese, lunchables uses cheese product, my guess is that most of the ‘cheese product’ is real cheese and the rest are meant to preserve the cheese. The ‘real cheese’ can mold because of the conditions such as the heat and other variables. I’m not a scientist (I’ve barely started my second year in high school) and this is just going of information that lunchl- I mean unnamed lunch kit brand has given us. It is also only my theory, my food theory. If any professionals can prove my hypothesis or throw it in the bin, that would be great! Thanks for reading my comment. Edit: thanks for liking guys, 12 is the most I’ve ever got!
8:00 the reason has to do with the CapriSun/Reece’s version having less of the “lunch” portion in them, the crackers and lunch meat both have fairly high sodium levels, so it only takes a small amount to put a significant dent in the total sodium content of the meal
In defense of the low calories, as a lunchable kid during school (they were like a once a week thing with pb&js the other days), I never had only a lunchable for lunch. It was usually paired with mandarin oranges and a granola bar to make it a full meal :)
What's worse than not having a nice lunch? NOT HAVING A LUNCH AT ALL! In our school we don't have a break for lunch, even tho we are there till 2 pm. We only have a break from 10:20-10:40 for breakfast, expected to last us that long. From 1st to 4th grade you get free breakfast like hotdogs (I'm not kidding) but after that you gotta get even less healthy foods from the nearby shops. I have fr seen Kids eat KEBABS for breakfast. I guess you could eat throughout the other short breaks, but they are called SHORT breaks for a reason! The only thing you can eat in that time (which is what kids eat) is chips and bad snacks. And we kinda don't have a cafeteria. We got a small (compared to what a cafeteria should be) room with a few tables, which NO ONE goes to.
What a strange school you have. When I went, we ate breakfast before school started (so if your bus was late you missed it, but can't do much about that) and then lunch anywhere between 11-12:30.
Even the school I HATED going to- had a 45 min lunch/breakfast period.. That's just systematic abuse.I hope your school gets investigated by the right people. Those "short breaks" Aren't healthy and aren't right for you and your classmates.
Imagine even having a cafeteria-like room. Schools I've been in throughout my life had none of that with most of those schools also having _really_ short breaks, a lot of them, but they weren't long enough to matter.
My school district (all one continuous building) used the same cafeteria. Kindergarten ate in the classroom, grades 1 & 2 ate from 10-10:30 and then had a 30 min recess on the playground, grades 3 & 4 had recess when 1&2 had lunch and vice versa, grades 5 & 6 ate at 11-11:30 had a 30 min recess on a hill behind the school, grades 7 & 8 had vice versa, and high school ate at 12-12:30 without recess. A lot of high school clubs met at lunch, so club members ate during that, leaving just enough space for the rest of the high schoolers to eat in the cafeteria.
5:31 was the definition of "side effcts may include: heart failure, cancer, unattractiveness, diarrhea, respiratory failure, testicular torstion, and death"
Oh, I've always known about the questionable nutrition of Lunchables since I was a high school senior and that was 14 years ago. Even as a kid I never really cared for Lunchables due to the packaging and the fact that if you didn't pack your own lunch for a field trip, you were given Lunchables.
The yellow bar per chapter helps me focus as someone with ADHD and I feel it gives a small bit of dopamine when it gets to the end. Keep doing good, editors. :3
Something that became mandatory in Brazil and should be everywhere is that every food needs to have a label in the front that warns if a product is high in stuff like added sugar, saturated fats, sodium etc. (Besides the normal nutritional facts on the back)
I think there is some misconception happening. I have always been under the assumption that lunchables were never meant to be an entire lunch, but meant to be part of a lunch (adding fruit, veggies, etc to make a balanced meal). Kind of how cereal says “PART of a balanced breakfast”. They aren’t meant to be the only source of nutrition at that meal.
8:37 "Certain other meal kit brand that will remain nameless" one of the captions literally had the word Lunchly on it, Santi, you ain't concealing anything
I will admit Logan ACTUALLY saying that instead of an apology and saying "We will look into it" hit like 15 prime branded trucks blaring thick of it ramming directly into my chest.
What i wished my elementary school had was microwaves. I would have brought leftovers from home every day if we had one, but it wasn't until I was in high school that I found microwaves in the cafeteria. So either I was the sad kid with a single peanut butter sandwich or getting the cafeteria lunches 😅 cause my parents didn't know/care about what their kids ate. Before the times of healthier eating became relevant
I was expecting this video to come eventually. Thank you Santi and all of Team Theorist for spreading good information at this controversial time! I hope this video reaches the younger audience so it can help them to understand the importance of good nutrition!
18:24 I actually prepped some breakfast parfaits a couple days ago for my work week because I'm becoming increasingly aware of my Potassium deficiency. It's not nearly the daily amount I need, but the parfaits, combined with OTC Potassium supplements I take later in the day are keeping me out of the danger zone, at least.
If you like sparkling "water" clear american has 400mg(ish each flavor is different) of potassium per 1 liter bottle and they are like 78 cents at walmart. Highly recommend trying the fuji apple flavor cause its legit just biting into an apple without the crunch. It is sweetened unlike most that claim to be water which may be a downside for you idk. Its basically just a clear diet soda.
the reason the lunchly is molding is because of packaging issues. the glue doesn't wrap fully around the seal letting the air seep into the food and molding the cheese.
Not necessarily a correction at all. You specifically said “adult,” while the graph specifically said “adults and children/adolescents.” This means the graph is looking at far more data than whatever you happened to find. It also indicates that, if whatever you found is true, and if the graph is also true, that means that it’s even worse than the graph makes it look for children specifically…
Nice video but I just have a little critism. The yellow bar is really distracting! And it feels like it's just here for retention. In personally don't really like it.
Santi, you're not the only one who remembers the Pancake Lunchable. The best part was warming those things up in the microwave before smashing them as mini syrup sandwiches. Additionally, big big fan of the progress bar at the bottom of the video for each section. Really appreciate that addition.

(Also thanks for all the hard work)
Completely agree. I appreciate the status bar for ad reads, but not for the video overall.
Also agree. They were very distracting to the point I thought it was a new UA-cam thing and was gonna look for a setting to turn off. The chapter markers that UA-cam gives are good enough for me. No need to make me question why there's a progress bar
I...yea it looks really tacky
i find it very helpful, and not annoying at all. since I mostly watch this videos while doing something else. being able to see how long the videos is without interacting with the screen is great.
I agree with the distracting, but I think if they shrink it and make it more of a mildly dark blue.
Random pro-tip; but if you want a "home made" lunchables-like cold pizza- Pita bread, Spaghetti Sauce, Shredded Cheese, and Pepperoni. Still super cheap, and you get a lot more food than you get from a lunchable.
Also you can make it before hand and have the cheese melt so you don’t need to make them at lunch time.
i feel like "Hillshire Snacking" meat and cheese packs are the only ones actually suitable for children, the only thing is that they're getting expensive
Both me and My nephew lovvve Homade Lunchable Pizza's. Though, TBH, we'll heat them up in our Air Fryer. The pita bread we get is roughly four/five times the size of a lunchable pizza so he can easily eat like two or three of them. I want to also add that he's eleven as of this post.
Sure but it is not really healthier...

There’s a bit of that in the School Lunch Conspiracy vid from a couple years back
Love the video, but the bar on the bottom is very distracting for me... would rather not know when each section of the video is going to end while watching the video... if I wanted to do that I'd just look at the timeline.
As an Aussie, I don’t understand American parents at all.
When my daughter (now an adult) was growing up, she was given healthy lunchboxes with homemade treats.
Salad sandwiches, fruit, yoghurt, cheese, eggs……..everything was made from scratch.
Pikelets, honey joys, sultanas, homemade pizzas on English muffins.
She was even smart enough to trade lunch items with other kids. She would swap packets of potato chips and fruit rollups for homemade treats. After I discovered her rather smart plan, I included some purchased items like muesli bars into her lunches.
Items like lunchables were foreign. Fruit and veggies were staples. Even savoury items like muffins were included.
Some dinner leftovers were part of lunches. Pack everything with frozen ice bricks and a cold water bottle and it was good.
I know parents may be time poor these days, but if you add some meal planning and healthy shopping, it can be done.
Hey that’s happened to me too though I’m a gen alpha living in the states my mom makes me good lunches from scratch like every day
companies feed us their lies so we buy more of the products. Recently saw a conglomerate cereal ad with some milk next to it saying it's less than $1 per meal
A good reason for that is how much less time we have in america before school.
Expectation is to wake up at the latest six thirty in the morning, have an hour to get ready, catch the bus at seven thirty, and get to school bye eight
between everyone needing to shower in the morning (mom, dad, 1+ kids) and then needing to spend time on food and any other self care before work most of the time a parent has maybe 5 minutes to throw something together for lunch for you, if they even have any time to. another big reason why cereals are a super common breakfast, because puring it into a bowl, adding milk, and eating, can be done in less than 5 minutes
Time, money, and space. The USA may as well be a corporate oligarchy.
I think the last number I saw said that 1/3 of the population are considered lower-class. More and more households require two adults to work full-time to make ends meet. A lot of people don't have 'mom' available at home to dedicate a lot of time to meal-prep, nor do they have the disposable income to purchase quality food for on-the-go life. Even in the example here, $7ish a meal is a whole lot more than the $1.25 if you're feeling strapped. Moreover, gone are the days of 'victory gardens' where everyone was growing a little bit of something or kept chickens/ something small around. The time argument aside, many people live in compact spaces like apartments where they do not have a yard to put a garden in, or people rent and it's hard to justify attempting to put in a garden if you might have to vacate the property in a year- assuming the landlord or HOA would even let you put one in.
Healthy meals can be done- even on a tight budget, but our society has set things up such that it is extremely hard and stressful to do so. Thankfully, there is a lot more education on what to look out for and how to try to accomplish this goal, but a monster has been created in this industry that will be hard to dismantle.

I honestly dont understand how the country with the biggest economy can not feed its kids proper food? In the country where im from, India, the government started a programme in 2001 called the mid-day meal scheme and all public schools in India serves lunch for its children and its really nutritional. Usually it is rice, vegetables and Indian curry which have the calories for a child to grow and the nutrients for the child.
Yeah and the best part…most probably all of the lunches are vegetarian. Take some notes America because I’m vegetarian and I want to be able to eat a school lunch that’s good for me because it has no meat (I’m Hindu) and maybe see some dosa or paneer or something like that which is like the stuff my mom makes for me for my lunch or dinner
In America the overwhelming majority of people don't want to do anything that benefits the less fortunate (which might include themselves).
India has one of the lowest life expectancy while pushing a diet program lacking in meat. While Hong Kong has a high meat consumption and one of the worlds highest life expectancy. India also has higher rates for type2d, and other diseases. Some schools in India block parents from packing home lunches with meat at the risk of expulsion for the kids. Yes these are correlations, but so is all nutrition science. Sounds like a nightmare to me for the government to have such power over it's peoples health. Choice should always be the standard, when "others" choose for you, you are not free. You should be free to choose your own diet based on your beliefs, even if at the expense of your own health.
Meat is very nutrient dense. It is non inflammatory in the absence of carbs and sugar, and it's nutrients very bio-available, and it's amino acid profile very balanced. Vitamins and nutrients compete in absorption in cells with glucose. Chronically elevated glucose levels leads to inflammation. There are no essential carbohydrates.
As an American, it will not get any better.
I remember Pancake Lunchables. They were discontinued due to very vocal groups complaining about the syrup being just extra sugar, or made of corn syrup, or just being bad for you. Also, Moms weren't buying a lot of them for those same reasons. And they were mostly stocked in convenience stores for some reason.
if the world didn't want "just more sugar" on the already CAKE known as "panCAKES"/flapjacks,etc they shouldn't've invented syrup in the first place.
full disclosure I have no idea where the pancake was invented.

You speaking for me bro

Thank you, I've been hearing too many people claim theses lunch snacks have too many calories, but I've been so confused by that idea. 200 calories is not alot and is really little for an active child.
They are also calorie dense, like even for a kid a lunchable will hardly fill them up and if the solution to that is another lunchable the unhealthy aspects double while still barely meeting minimum calorie requirements.
As a person that lives in Romania,which doesn't have these kinds of lunch kits as far as i know and also ate a lot of unhealthy stuff as a kid, just put your kid a sanwhich,a good and consistent sandwhich if you can afford.Take that 15 minutes you use to scroll in the morning or at night and just prep their meal. When they are old enough teach them to prep their own school lunch.

They are the same product minus mould in the case of Lunchly. However, getting real specific it's kinda balanced out due to Lunchly (when it ISNT mouldy) being slightly healthier.

@@GeorgeJoubert-id2cv it's questionable
@@GeorgeJoubert-id2cv Don't gatekeep people's food.
hey, food theorists, i work in cheese making. the reason the cheese in an unnamed lunch kit is moldy is because of what they call "real cheese". cheese needs a lot processing for preservation, or it gets moldy rather quickly. not only would salt not be able to be added to the cheese-despite higher sodium than lunchables-along with other preservations, but they also have much higher moisture content, which attracts mold. basically every cheese in the u.s. doesn’t have to call it processed cheese for that reason: most, if not all of it is literally needed.
As an european can you also tell why lunchables and many other products can not call their cheese cheese? Is it because they process it too much, or they replace natural ingredients with chemicals?
Something you also need to take into account for is the packaging and sealing process. It seems like there was an issue with the sealing mechanism causing an environment where mold can grow.
That being said, I buy real cheese at the supermarket generally without mold, by virtue of this wonderful thing called quality assurance, which was clearly severely lacking in the Unnamed Food’s factory line. Which is why I feel little to no remorse for their moldy outcomes, real cheese or not.
@@anomalocaris2593 Usually its because of how processed they are. For example, Kraft singles are actually made pretty similarly to normal cheese, but don't have enough cheese curds to be legally called cheese. This is because they use a lot of extra added fats compared to what real cheese uses. So its not actually that its all extra chemicals, even if some is, it's just not the right proportions of real ingredients to be called cheese in the US.
would low moisture mozz solve this issue
I always thought that was pretty obvious, storing cheese in a room temperature room will make it get moldy quickly.
When my wife was a kid, she had Lunchables often. One day, without looking at it, she started her Lunchables lunch with the included candy bar. She looked down at the candy bar, and was mortified to learn that she had also bitten through a small roach that had been packaged with the chocolate. Ever since then, she has never touched a Lunchables box ever again.
1. Yes santi I recall the pancake lunchables
2. This is why you add things like fruits and veggies to the Lunchable equivalent. Its not a one stop shop, its just a quick base meal for emergencies when you run out of lunchmeat.
If you run out of lunch meat why would you have a lunchable on hand?
@@MusharnaMushmaybe both was in the fridge and they just wait till they run out of everything else to eat it. So they have something put away when they need it.

@@Author1219 yeah that can make things a lot harder.
Exactly my mom always had fruits and other snacks in there.
We have had free school lunches since the 1940’s here in Finland so all these lunch kits are bizarrely fascinating to me.
I remember my dad getting me one then taking me to the park. It's one of my favorite memories. But other than that it was home cooked meals or the free lunches at school.
Didn't expect to see a fellow finn here! But true! Even if the food 99% tastes awful I guess it's still better than these. But the school porridge at least to me was the best meal in school also pea soup was the only good soup.

I’ve never liked the processed nature of lunchables (though I’ll eat a pizza lunchable occasionally 🤤) but when my son started showing signs of ARFID and showed interest in another kid’s lunchable, I started making him his own and he loves them! I just always add a fruit to make it a little more balanced. I also found some locally sourced pre-packaged organic ones that I will buy sometimes if I’m too busy to make them myself.

My assumption growing up was that everyone knew lunchables weren't that healthy, but we're a fun sometimes food. Now I work in k-12 and... Yeah, no most parents are very aware of that and those who aren't don't have the financial means to buy them often anyway. This whole fiasco confuses me.
Never had one of these.. where i lived these were considered only fro rich kids lol
yeah no one who wants to save money would buy lunchables when cafeteria food are so much cheaper

@@gravities In school I didn't have a cafeteria until high school. So a packed lunch was the only option.

still better than Lunchly
“I like my cheese moldy bruh”
I like my lunchly sued bruh
Moldy cheese can be delicious if done intentionally
If you’re operating on the basis of one being “better” than the other, you’re missing the point. The metaphor I use here is it’s like if someone went and said “Hey I’m going to make a healthier alternative to the popular brand of poison” and then everyone went after them because the new poison wasn’t healthier and maybe even worse (and advertised dishonestly to impressionable children, but that kinda goes outside the bounds of this comparison). But the problem is, at the end of the day, they’re still BOTH POISON. Literally the old saying of “pick your poison”. We should not be feeding any brand of these sorts of kits to our kids if we want them to be healthy unless absolutely necessary, and if it’s necessary then we clearly have a different problem.
@Professor_Brie I see someone watched Dr Mike's videos and saw the point. How is someone gonna try and cope how "one is better" when both are bad (and that's putting it nicely)
I like my jimmy imprisoned bruh
The only reason this isnt about lunchly. Is because the the dangers arent hidden

The "allowable amount of lead" as stated by the guidelines is FAR less than what's needed to cause damage. Of course lead is still bad, but remember, the dose makes the poison.
@@nairabhattiThat's not true. There is NO amount of lead that is negligible. It always has negative effects, the studies simply haven't been conducted over enough time to reveal lead's complete dangers at very small doses.
Radiation exposure is similar, a lot has obvious consequences, but even a little can still cause a cancer that kills you given enough time.
I do not remember the pancake lunchable, but I am definitely not younger than you.
However my side of the country never seem to get anything cool. So that would explain it. We didn't even get pickle Doritos 😭😭
8:55 I think it’s the fact they used (or claim to use) real cheese, lunchables uses cheese product, my guess is that most of the ‘cheese product’ is real cheese and the rest are meant to preserve the cheese. The ‘real cheese’ can mold because of the conditions such as the heat and other variables. I’m not a scientist (I’ve barely started my second year in high school) and this is just going of information that lunchl- I mean unnamed lunch kit brand has given us. It is also only my theory, my food theory.
If any professionals can prove my hypothesis or throw it in the bin, that would be great! Thanks for reading my comment.
Edit: thanks for liking guys, 12 is the most I’ve ever got!
8:00 the reason has to do with the CapriSun/Reece’s version having less of the “lunch” portion in them, the crackers and lunch meat both have fairly high sodium levels, so it only takes a small amount to put a significant dent in the total sodium content of the meal
In defense of the low calories, as a lunchable kid during school (they were like a once a week thing with pb&js the other days), I never had only a lunchable for lunch. It was usually paired with mandarin oranges and a granola bar to make it a full meal :)
santi dissing lunchly is very lore accurate.
What's worse than not having a nice lunch? NOT HAVING A LUNCH AT ALL! In our school we don't have a break for lunch, even tho we are there till 2 pm. We only have a break from 10:20-10:40 for breakfast, expected to last us that long. From 1st to 4th grade you get free breakfast like hotdogs (I'm not kidding) but after that you gotta get even less healthy foods from the nearby shops. I have fr seen Kids eat KEBABS for breakfast. I guess you could eat throughout the other short breaks, but they are called SHORT breaks for a reason! The only thing you can eat in that time (which is what kids eat) is chips and bad snacks. And we kinda don't have a cafeteria. We got a small (compared to what a cafeteria should be) room with a few tables, which NO ONE goes to.
What a strange school you have. When I went, we ate breakfast before school started (so if your bus was late you missed it, but can't do much about that) and then lunch anywhere between 11-12:30.
@@mage1439 yeah that sound way better lol
Even the school I HATED going to- had a 45 min lunch/breakfast period.. That's just systematic abuse.I hope your school gets investigated by the right people. Those "short breaks" Aren't healthy and aren't right for you and your classmates.
Imagine even having a cafeteria-like room.
Schools I've been in throughout my life had none of that with most of those schools also having _really_ short breaks, a lot of them, but they weren't long enough to matter.
My school district (all one continuous building) used the same cafeteria. Kindergarten ate in the classroom, grades 1 & 2 ate from 10-10:30 and then had a 30 min recess on the playground, grades 3 & 4 had recess when 1&2 had lunch and vice versa, grades 5 & 6 ate at 11-11:30 had a 30 min recess on a hill behind the school, grades 7 & 8 had vice versa, and high school ate at 12-12:30 without recess. A lot of high school clubs met at lunch, so club members ate during that, leaving just enough space for the rest of the high schoolers to eat in the cafeteria.

I think there is some misconception happening. I have always been under the assumption that lunchables were never meant to be an entire lunch, but meant to be part of a lunch (adding fruit, veggies, etc to make a balanced meal). Kind of how cereal says “PART of a balanced breakfast”. They aren’t meant to be the only source of nutrition at that meal.
Thing in many kids had ONLY them 😅 as a ton of parents assumed it was all they needed.

The way Santi dissed lunchly is crazy…💀
I was expecting this video to come eventually.
Thank you Santi and all of Team Theorist for spreading good information at this controversial time!
I hope this video reaches the younger audience so it can help them to understand the importance of good nutrition!
18:24 I actually prepped some breakfast parfaits a couple days ago for my work week because I'm becoming increasingly aware of my Potassium deficiency. It's not nearly the daily amount I need, but the parfaits, combined with OTC Potassium supplements I take later in the day are keeping me out of the danger zone, at least.
If you like sparkling "water" clear american has 400mg(ish each flavor is different) of potassium per 1 liter bottle and they are like 78 cents at walmart. Highly recommend trying the fuji apple flavor cause its legit just biting into an apple without the crunch. It is sweetened unlike most that claim to be water which may be a downside for you idk. Its basically just a clear diet soda.
@@Falcodrin Thanks for the tip! I'll probably stick to the flavored stuff though, because I can't stand plain sparkling water lol
@@Falcodrin Yo what about bananas too? Those have a lot of potassium.
Ngl this is the only channel that feels the same even after matpat left
Still miss him
I would say Style Theory as well
This is the only Theory channel I'm interested in.
Santi, quick, define "corporate greed"
Please don't make the progress bar a regular thing!
If I wanted to know how much time was left in the chapter, I would hover my mouse over the video!
the reason the lunchly is molding is because of packaging issues. the glue doesn't wrap fully around the seal letting the air seep into the food and molding the cheese.
The breakfast ones with the tiny pancakes were my favorite as a kid! I was so sad they stopped making them
Lesson: Stick with your parents' cooking.
Kids aren't going out and buying these things with their own money. This IS what the parents have decided to give them.
Amen
@ 3:10 - *Correction?* "US adult obesity rate fell by around two percentage points between 2020 and 2023" - possibly the Ozempic Effect
Not necessarily a correction at all. You specifically said “adult,” while the graph specifically said “adults and children/adolescents.” This means the graph is looking at far more data than whatever you happened to find.
It also indicates that, if whatever you found is true, and if the graph is also true, that means that it’s even worse than the graph makes it look for children specifically…
From the screen to the ring to the pen to the king
Nice video but I just have a little critism. The yellow bar is really distracting! And it feels like it's just here for retention. In personally don't really like it.
The entire Lunchly trio have already been sued and the product is on the verge of being discontinued so we don't need to worry about that anymore
People don't care about the ToS because of extreme health violations
Santi, you're not the only one who remembers the Pancake Lunchable. The best part was warming those things up in the microwave before smashing them as mini syrup sandwiches.
Additionally, big big fan of the progress bar at the bottom of the video for each section. Really appreciate that addition.
So, the yellow bar at the bottom of the screen shows the time left in each chapter. Is that a new thing, or are you testing it out?
