McDonald's Food Doesn't Rot And That Is Extremely Terrifying
The best case against fast food in a single photo.
Facebook user Jennifer Lovdahl recently posted the conclusion of a little experiment she and her co-workers undertook over the last six years.
Lovdahl is a Chiropractor in Alaska. As noted in the post, the experiment was used to prove to patients that fast food (in this particular case, McDonald's food meant for kids) is full of chemicals and unnatural preservatives, and it doesn't degrade or rot like healthy, natural food should. If you ever needed a reason not to eat fast food, I can't think of a better one.
BRB, gotta go vomit.
As proven by the receipt, this Happy Meal is over six years old.
An important question, though–what happened to the Hi-C?
Here's a close-up of the four-piece nugget meal and fries.
As you can see, the food looks barely different from the day it was purchased. According to the McDonald's website, fillers and preservatives are not used in their beef. Who knows about the fries and nuggets though–the website doesn't specify and resorts to dodgy answering tactics in the FAQ section about the purity of their food. Some think the food might not rot due to the lack of moisture in it, but I'm not entirely convinced.
But this isn't the first case of a McDonald's meal refusing to decompose.
A couple of doctors from Michigan left out a burger and fries from McDonald's over a period of two years, and the result was remarkably unchanged. Like Lovdahl, the doctors undertook the experiment as a way to caution patients against eating fast food. Really though, it shouldn't be that hard to stop eating, because McDonald's isn't that tasty and it's a myth that fast food is cheaper than healthier alternatives.
Moral of the story: don't eat McDonalds if you want to live to be older than Honey Boo Boo.
