Zombie food?

Sorry for the Prop 23 ad at the beginning, it came with the embed.

This was proven in Super Size Me.

Pretty disgusting isn't it? Diana and I haven't touched fast food in over 6 years. We try to eat all whole foods and stay away from heavily processed foods, but we do eat out about once or twice a week.

I don't think the issue in Super Size Me was the seeming immortality of McFood. But, I'm sure the corporate McHonchos are not amused, nonetheless.

Here's another recent story about McFood:

Can you say, "McYuck!!"?
(That ain't McIcecream, folks.)

He had a piece in the DVD extras where they had a burger sitting for 6 months that never deteriorated. Of course everybody has seen that french fry that was sitting under their car seat for a year and still looked the same. A normal french fry doesn't do that.

That chicken stuff is just nasty. Looks like their strawberry non-milkshake.

I don't know, I'm eating two year old peanut butter on my boat.
I saw the vegetarian promo with the guy in the morgue holding a burger. Made me hungry for McDonalds....

In defense (and I really don't care for MacDonalds at all), any food that's placed in a reasonably dry and clean area will simply dehydrate and won't have mold growth or deterioration.

Mist that same burger with clean water ever day, or place it in a damp area and you'll soon have a full scale mold farm.

Many foods are preserved by drying, meat included.

So, let me see if I got this right...

NYC vegetarian---with no ulterior motive---Sally Davies learns how to prepare beef jerky at home, and ABC News considers that this "makes headlines?"

They should walk over to the American Museum of Natural History and take a look at the Egyptian mummies there!

And people wonder why fewer and fewer people trust the old media. This is a blatant rip of the viral video that made the rounds a couple of years ago. At least that guy had the honesty to include a few other menu items that did mold. Not that he was really honest about the issue.

In that one, the supposed comparison burger was a big old burger from some dinner, along with some large cut steak fries. You then got photos showing one day, one week, one month and so on. The comparison burger and fries of course molded up quickly then became a pile of goo over the course of the video.

Ah, but not all the McDonalds food did. The big mac became goo but not the plain hamburger, and of course the fries looked the same. It's a trick though. How often have you open a bag of six month old potato chimps and found them moldy?

The answer is never. You've most likely never opened an undamaged package of potato chips and found them moldy. In fact you probably found a opened bag of chips in the back of the pantry that have been there over six months, and if you were willing to try them, you'd have found they had gone stale. So McDonald's, to insure they're the same whenever or where ever you order them, insures that there fries are uniform in shape, size and time spent in the fryer. So unlike a number of other restaurants, McDonald's fries are always done though and though. So with almost no moisture, McDonald's fries will go rancid from the grease but will not mold.

Same goes for the rest of the meal, any bread left out in a reasonably dry environment will go stale. My mom used to throw a lot of the heals and other bread that went stale into a basket on the counter. Then she would use it for stuffing or bread pudding. The meat is like the fries in that it's uniform size and cooking times insure that it was cooked all the way through and will also go rancid with out molding. You could do the same thing with any well cooked meat left in a dry environment. Just leave a cooked sausage patty out on the counter for a couple days and you'll find that out.

No wonder this country is in so much trouble, not only are there no end of fools willing to believe the least bit of slander against a major jobs and food provider, but the supposed real media will pedal the crap as if it's real.
