Hey guys, what's up and welcome back to another episode.

Liz and Kim.

This duo has been dropped enough times for me to now talk about them.

Let's expose their addictive and gluttonous behaviors to light today.

I'm proud of you guys.

How is it that some of you guys are so young but can pick up toxic behaviors so easily?

For those of you out there that's messaged me about them and asked me if I think they are toxic,

Yes, yes, yes.

Mukbang in general is just toxic.

I honestly can't wrap my head around watching people shove greasy,

unhealthy, sugary foods into their mouth like animals.

I can't comprehend how that's enjoyable.

I know maybe some of you guys out there enjoy it.

I personally could not ever, ever get into it.

It creates addiction.

It makes people hungry.

It makes people want to overconsume it provokes and promotes unhealthy eating behavior.

Unless if it's like healthy mukbang.

There's actually more healthy mukbangs now.

I think the mukbang community has been criticized by so many people now.

They're now changing it up as well.

There's now ethical mukbang channels where they eat more healthier things.

You know that they're eating everything because the calories are measured.

They are eating within their own weight.

The things that they're eating seems more natural,

more healthy, better for their body.

They're not promoting unhealthy lifestyles,

unhealthy eating patterns, unhealthy foods.

It's great.

They respect themselves and their viewers and they're changing it up.

I've criticized a few mukbang channels in my time.

I feel like some of them might have like a secret little society where they gather

and then they talk about plotting against me to shut my channel down because I've exposed so many of them.

I don't know.

I just can't seem to get into it.

I have friends that's told me that mukbangs make them not want to eat.

Like if they feel like snacking,

they actually feel full and satisfied from watching people eat junk food.

Huh?

What?

Hey, no judgment here.

Everyone operates differently.

I guess it is better to watch someone eat greasy,

unhealthy, sugary foods than eating it yourself.

I don't know, but then you're creating a different type of addiction a different type of way of self-soothing.

And that's also not really healthy.

Yeah, I've heard people say it makes them less hungry.

They don't feel like eating after.

And then I've heard people say like they feel really,

really calm and satisfied and they watch it before bed.

And the ASMR sounds really soothe them before bed.

It relaxes them.

Again, in my personal opinion,

and I guess if you actually go to a mental health professional,

they probably wouldn't recommend watching addictive,

unhealthy mukbang ASMR videos to soothe yourself before sleep.

I feel like most health professionals wouldn't recommend that because again,

it is soothing, it is relaxing,

but it's not a healthy way to soothe and relax your nervous system.

And there are a lot of other alternatives out there.

So without further ado, let's get into today's episode.

Get comfortable.

And if you are going to have a snack,

grab a healthy snack and let's get started.

How cute is this mug that I got from India?

It says Pune and it has all the landmarks and like some of the highlights from Pune.

It's so special.

I love it.

And I love the color orange.

It makes me feel so warm in autumn.

How cute is this?

I'm drinking peppermint tea for those of you that are wondering.

Welcome back guys.

A lot of you out there have actually really wanted me to do like a podcast.

I won't start a podcast yet.

For those of you that want to get to know more personal things about me,

I might do a Q&A and I do have a vlog channel.

So those of you that are interested in podcasts,

are interested in things outside of my commentary channel,

check out my vlog page.

This is my vlog I will start posting more.

I'm sorry that I've been neglecting that side.

And this is my Instagram.

Give it a follow if you're interested.

And yeah, let's get started into today's episode.

Who are they?

Who are Liz and Kim?

Kim and Liz have a ASMR mukbang channel.

And a lot of people actually thought that they were mother and daughter.

I thought that they were mother and daughter,

but it turns out that they're actually sisters.

I had no idea, but their content focuses on eating shows,

ASMR sounds, candy challenges, ramen desserts,

junk food, and reaction style eating videos.

Their channel grew massively through YouTube shorts and TikTok style content and now has millions of subscribers across platforms.

I think their channel started blowing up rapidly in 2020,

which was actually COVID.

COVID had so much to do with a lot of BS that we see now.

100

COVID was the era where influencers just went because everyone was just stuck indoors, right?

101

Everyone was just stuck at home with nothing to do.

102

So a lot of people became content creators that posted really irrelevant and I guess unnecessary content.

103

And a lot of people were bored.

104

So they consumed that type of content.

105

I just have to add COVID really did expose ourselves to human nature like to our own nature I guess

106

and to other humans nature positively and negatively

107

but I would say COVID highlighted more of the negative side of human nature

108

and COVID actually forced a lot of people indoors it captivated a lot of people physically

109

and also mentally which actually also allowed people to have awakenings.

110

Like people realized a lot of things during COVID as well because they were forced to think.

111

Interesting.

112

Very interesting.

113

I still think about those COVID days where I was literally stuck at home,

114

not allowed to leave my front doorstep.

115

It was crazy.

116

But anyway, let's get let's get back into it.

117

Sorry for the detour.

118

The main controversies surrounding Kim and Liz,

119

The oldest and the most common controversy is their fake eating accusations.

120

Many viewers accused them of pretending to eat large amounts of food,

121

spitting food out off camera,

122

editing videos heavily, wasting food for content.

123

This criticism became common in mukbang discussion communities on Reddit and TikTok.

124

Their portions often seemed unrealistically large.

125

Some viewers claimed chewing, swallowing, looked edited.

126

People question how they stay thin despite huge meals.

127

Crazy.

128

I have watched some of their mukbang videos.

129

I can't do mukbang.

130

A lot of people say that it makes them less hungry.

131

I have to actually say I'm quite the opposite.

132

Watching people eat just tickles all my senses in a very uncomfortable way and I get more hungry.

133

I'm not a crazy sweet tooth.

134

I do enjoy desserts every now and then,

135

but I don't crave sweet foods.

136

I'm a savory girl.

137

I like savory foods way more.

138

And watching them eat, I'm literally,

139

my mouth is literally watering as I speak,

140

but watching them eat, it just like elicits this urge inside of me that I don't like.

141

I don't wanna feel out of control about food.

142

I don't wanna feel irrational with food.

143

I would say I'm a person with a lot of self-control and emotional regulation.

144

I'm quite disciplined and I like that about myself.

145

I don't like to feel out of control with food.

146

I like to know what I put in my body because I respect my body and for the Christian girlies and boilies,

147

like you guys would know what I'm talking about when I say your body is a temple.

148

Like your body is the home that your spirit and soul lives in.

149

If your body has been through trauma or if your mind has been through trauma,

150

a lot of symptoms and side effects,

151

responses, your nervous system is like your body needs to relax.

152

You need to fix your body.

153

You need to ground your body and make it a safe and healthy place for the soul to reside in.

154

It's about everything, everything works together.

155

So my body is my temple,

156

it's where my soul lives in,

157

it's what God gave me and I need to honor that.

158

By eating junk food all the time and over consuming

159

and eating in such a gluttonous way and shoving things down

160

and also wasting food shows absolute zero respect for me for god

161

and for the environment and other human beings out there the amount of food

162

that a lot of these mukbang people eat the amount of food

163

that they waste by wasting food we're not respecting ourselves

164

or whoever provided the food food is incredibly sacred and i think

165

that the whole consumerism industry

166

and mindset has kind of made a lot of people ungrateful ungrateful for opportunities good people

167

and just resources i think that's really sad

168

because we are actually really really lucky i actually watched a podcast the other day

169

and it said that we are living like kings

170

because kings in the past they could live

171

and they could go wherever they wanted right meaning they had horses

172

or carriages we have that most people most people anyway have that.

173

Like we have our own cars,

174

we can have the opportunity to buy cars, we have money nowadays.

175

Like even very young people can have a credit card to start saving,

176

to get a job to save.

177

Like back in the days only kings could travel abroad.

178

Now we can save up money if we wanted to and we can go traveling to different places.

179

Only kings could buy certain fruits like pineapples and grapes

180

and apples whereas normal people probably could never even eat some of those fruits in their lives

181

and now we can literally eat whatever we wanted.

182

We are actually so lucky to a certain extent I guess.

183

We are so lucky in the sense that we actually can have whatever we want materialistically whenever we want it.

184

We can just buy it and it'll come to us.

185

Right obviously prices may vary

186

but what I'm trying to say is the modern age has made accessing things very very simple for us

187

which means that we are naturally going to become more ungrateful because we don't realize how simple it is.

188

So I think overconsumption creates greed and it makes us feel like it's

189

so easy and it's so normalized that we become ungrateful.

190

And that's why I encourage you guys to also be careful with consumption because it makes you appreciate what you have more.

191

It makes you more conscious of what you're consuming,

192

which is better for your wallet and your mind and the environment at the end of the day.

193

It's literally a win-win for all.

194

So I think overconsumption comes out of greed,

195

unawareness, lack of care, lack of conscience, right?

196

That's not good for the people that's overconsuming.

197

Because let's be real, at the end of the day,

198

it's about you, like your health.

199

So I worry for Liz and Kim.

200

I think that they are stuck in a loophole that they are not quite sure how to get out of.

201

Because they build their entire channel on unhealthy mukbae for entertainment.

202

What else can they do?

203

It would be hard for them to do a 360 or a 180 and change their content.

204

Another major criticism is promoting binge eating,

205

encouraging unhealthy food habits, targeting children with junk food-centered content.

206

Some viewers said the videos normalize extreme high sugar intake,

207

excessive fast food consumption, overeating for entertainment.

208

Reddit discussions especially criticize how young audiences may imitate the behavior.

209

This ties into a broader controversy around YouTube mukbang culture overall,

210

not just Kim and Liz specifically.

211

A lot of you say that you watch my videos

212

while you eat and I thank you guys so so much for doing that.

213

But when you do that,

214

you have to make sure that you're conscious that you're eating,

215

that you can feel the food being chewed and into your stomach because you're young right now.

216

You're not thinking about what your body's going to be when you're 20,

217

when you're 30, when you're 40, when you're 50.

218

50 but every choice that you make in this current moment will affect you in the future

219

so whatever it is

220

that we do drink sleep run exercise study make sure you're

221

doing it consciously you're present you're intentional you're managing your stress levels

222

and there's a balance with everything i promise you it would be

223

so so so good for your body and soul your mind body and soul concerns Concerns about parasocial influence on kids.

224

Some parents and commentators argue their videos appeal strongly to children.

225

The sounds and the way that they eat could encourage unhealthy screen habit.

226

Academic discussion around YouTube, recommendation systems,

227

and child-targeted content often gets referenced in broader debates about channels like theirs.

228

Frequently repeated criticisms about the channel are they never swallow food,

229

they fake every video, they're secretly sick.

230

Content farming and algorithm criticism.

231

As shorts exploded on YouTube,

232

many people grouped Liz and Kim with algorithm first creators.

233

Critics accused them of repetitive thumbnails,

234

hyper-edited reactions, editing clickbait style titles,

235

Content engineered mainly for children and viral retention.

236

They also hyper-edit the colors of their videos to attract children to watch their mukbang.

237

This criticism became stronger around 2022 to 2024 when YouTube Shorts heavily rewarded fast-paced food content.

238

It's like Nick and Carrie.

239

It's like Life with Brothers.

240

It's like Lily and Josh.

241

They hyper-edit the foods to make it look devourable.

242

Is that even a word? devourable.

243

They make it look so enticing and good.

244

Like that's what McDonald's does.

245

That's what KFC does.

246

They all do that.

247

They make it look really crisp and clean.

248

I encourage everyone to understand that,

249

to understand what is manipulating you so you can make the decision yourself, whatever it is.

250

So you are more conscious.

251

You're aware of it so you can protect yourself.

252

And if you do choose to consume it would be out of your own will

253

and not under pressure or influence or manipulation

254

so it's good to understand how these types of industries work

255

sometimes certain things need to go extinct i do believe

256

that not people i'm not saying liz

257

and kim should be extinct i'm saying certain trends

258

and certain ways of doing things if you are obsessed with it or if you are watching it,

259

I recommend you to cope and soothe yourself in other ways.

260

There are

261

so many creative amazing things you could do than watch random

262

weirdos eat random toxic things on the internet in front of you.

263

If you actually think about that concept,

264

watching strangers shove food and chewing and being gross,

265

that makes you feel dopamine and it's just gross.

266

If you actually think about that concept, it's a bit strange.

267

Like that's why I can't understand it.

268

It's an addiction to watch mukbang ASMR.

269

Like you're just as addicted to the stimulation just as much as they are addicted to the eating.

270

I've said this in the past in my other videos.

271

A lot of these people spit out the food obviously.

272

I know some content creators even go to the extent of vomiting out the food after they've eaten it.

273

Some of them do that to obviously maintain their weight and a lot of people unfortunately actually eat it.

274

They eat absolutely everything that you see on camera,

275

the unhealthy stuff, they eat it all.

276

It's like self-abuse.

277

Overeating or under-eating to an unhealthy level is essentially self-abuse.

278

They purposely bait children into watching their content.

279

That's what's actually really disgusting in my opinion.

280

Like the food itself was already disgusting and the way

281

that they do it was already disgusting on top of

282

that morally they're just disgusting as well they're not doing it ethically they purposely bait children into their disgusting lifestyle

283

and content like they purposely want to give children addictions

284

and i do pray that they do healthier content

285

that they start caring about the children that are watching them

286

and become more honest with themselves and start using what God gave them,

287

which is two brains, one each,

288

to think of better content ideas and start living a healthy and more self-respecting lifestyle.

289

So yeah, that's all I have to say.

290
