OMG!!!! I really went to Mcd's today and was gonna buy my son a burger happymeal but got chicken nuggets instead! Im feeling a lil sick now bcuz i fed him something that probably wouldnt go bad for about a year! So glad i looked at your post! THANX!!!!!!!!Not sure you want to know this but do you know what their chicken nuggets are? Chopped and pressed chicken skin - breaded.
I was cheeseburger obsessed. Unfortunately, that just made me go for more expensive burgers at nicer restaurants. It may have been more 'real' but it was just as unhealthy.
If I knew then what I know now, I would not have needed this surgery. Youth is wasted on the young.

Not to mention that most fast food uses the amonia treated pink slime that's been all over the news lately.
NOT to mention when I was a child if my mother left raw meat and cooked meat in the refrigerator within a couple of days the raw would go bad and a few days more the cooked would.
As an adult I keep forgetting about food go back and smell it and it smells the same. I highly DOUBT my refrigertor is the reason. Food for thought.

Thank God for VSG! It has made me learn so much about food and what is good and bad to eat. I never used to give a damn about any of that.I came across this while reading about food and it really shocked me! To think of the pure **** I was putting in my body all those years .. OMG! This stuff isn't even real food. There are many such projects similar to this if you goggle it, but this is just one of them.

How gross is that for real? Something isn't normal about food that doesn't rot or decompose. It made me think back to when my kids were little and I would find french fries down in the seats or under the floor mat when I would clean my car. Lord knows how long it had been there but it still looked pretty normal, it was just hard kinda like plastic. Now I call them plastic burgers every time I drive past a McD's. Why in the world didn't I think about this when I would find those old french fries down in the seat of the car? It never really dawned on me.
My God what was I putting in me?! I'll never do it again.
I saw something about that once, a lady had a 5 year old cheeseburger and fries. I bought one from Mickey D's and kept it in the original sack in a cupboard and not only did it not draw bugs or stink, it also didn't rot. I kept it for two years. Finally I gave it to my surgeon and he uses it for his lectures with his patients now. By now it has to be 4 years old and it still looks like it did the day I bought it, just a little more dry.
I'm no defender of mcdonald's as being a good choice but the thing about the burgers not rotting is deceptive and based on scientific ignorance.
THE EXACT SAME THING CAN BE DONE WITH HOMEMADE BURGERS - there've been numerous demonstrations of this
the reason the burger doesn't grow mould is because of a lack of bioavailable water. There's not a lot of water in a thin mcd burger - they're cooked to well done and under weights - no one ever calls a cheeseburger from there "juicy". Once it's cooked and cooled, it will dry out before any bacteria or mould can grow.
Same goes for the cheese & bun.
If it had been kept in a plastic bag it probably would have been visibly colonized - plastic would trap residual & environmental moisture, which would be bioavailable.
So, criticize their food, calories or nutritional value, criticize their marketing to kids, but don't criticize based on bull**** stories of scientific ignorance!

Well, I'm no scientist and what drives me mostly are my emotions and my gut instinct on things. I'm sure there can be all kinds of technical discussion about some very complicated chemical processes that I do not understand but the reality of it, for me anyway, is that seeing food that doesn't rot just grosses me out and I won't ever eat it again.
Some scientist could very well tell me that a McDonald's hamburger is quite healthy to eat and explain why it doesn't decay, but I still wouldn't, knowing that it turns into plastic after sitting out like that. It just grossed me out that badly. Scientific ignorance or not .. i know it's not natural nor healthy to eat plastic hamburgers and I'll just leave it at that.

Sigh. Try to correct a moment of scientific illiteracy,
Try it yourself with a thin frozen patty of regular ground beef cooked very well done. Leave it uncovered, Watch it dehydrate, not rot.
Drying is a common method of food preservation - do you think beef jerky is mysterious scary plastic food because it doesn't rot if left out? Those little packets marked "do not eat"? They're in there to reduce bioavailable water.
