Wed Sep 18 02:27:00 UTC 2024: ## MrBeast Defends Lunchly Amidst Criticism
YouTube’s most subscribed creator, MrBeast, has broken his social media silence to address criticism surrounding his new food venture, Lunchly. Lunchly, a direct competitor to Lunchables, was launched by MrBeast, Logan Paul, and KSI on September 17th, and has faced backlash from fellow creators who question the product’s quality and the trio’s motives.
MrBeast responded directly to YouTuber DanTDM, who criticized Lunchly as “selling stuff for the sake of making money.” MrBeast defended the venture by highlighting the nutritional improvements of Lunchly compared to its competitor, citing lower calories, less sugar, and higher quality ingredients. He acknowledged that fresh food is always healthier, but argued that Lunchly offers a more nutritious alternative for those who already consume pre-made meals like Lunchables.
“Obviously eating fresh chicken and broccoli is healthier but if someone is going to eat a premade meal like this (which millions of people do thru lunchables) then I think giving them a higher quality version at roughly the same price is a net good imo and why we launched Lunchly,” MrBeast stated.
He also explained that Lunchly is focused on improving the product over time and lowering its price through economies of scale.
Logan Paul and KSI, MrBeast’s partners in the venture, have also defended Lunchly and their actions against the criticism.
