Would You Like Fries With Your Burger?

I've always tried to limit my exposure to fast food. Today, I understand why. I don't know if people have heard about the ''Bionic Burger.'' If not, watch this video. There's a lot more info. on the subject if you want to Google further.

Why McDonald's Happy Meal hamburgers won't decompose - the real story behind the story

(NaturalNews) It's always entertaining when the mainstream media "discovers" something they think is new even though the natural health community has been talking about for years. The New York Times, for example, recently ran a story entitled When Drugs Cause Problems They Are Supposed to Prevent (http://www.nytimes.com/2010/10/17/h...). We've been covering the same topic for years, reporting on how chemotherapy causes cancer, osteoporosis drugs cause bone fractures and antidepressant drugs cause suicidal behavior.

The latest "new" discovery by the mainstream media is that McDonald's Happy Meal hamburgers and fries won't decompose, even if you leave them out for six months. This story has been picked up by CNN, the Washington Post and many other MSM outlets which appear startled that junk food from fast food chains won't decompose.

The funny thing about this is that the natural health industry already covered this topic years ago. Remember Len Foley's Bionic Burger video? It was posted in 2007 and eventually racked up a whopping 2 million views on YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mYyD...). And this video shows a guy who bought his McDonald's hamburgers in 1989 -- burgers that still haven't decomposed in over two decades!

Now, he has an entire museum of non-decomposed burgers in his basement.

Did the mainstream media pick up on this story? Nope. Not a word. The story was completely ignored. It was only in 2010 when an artist posted a story about a non-decomposing McDonald's hamburger from six months ago that the news networks ran with the story.

Check out the video link above and you'll see an entire museum of Big Macs and hamburgers spanning the years -- none of which have decomposed.

This is especially interesting because the more recent "Happy Meal Project" which only tracks a burger for six months has drawn quite a lot of criticism from a few critics who say the burgers will decompose if you give them enough time. They obviously don't know about the mummified burger museum going all the way back to 1989. This stuff never seems to decompose!

Why don't McDonald's hamburgers decompose?
So why don't fast food burgers and fries decompose in the first place? The knee-jerk answer is often thought to be, "Well they must be made with so many chemicals that even mold won't eat them." While that's part of the answer, it's not the whole story.

The truth is many processed foods don't decompose and won't be eaten by molds, insects or even rodents. Try leaving a tub of margarine outside in your yard and see if anything bothers to eat it. You'll find that the margarine stays seems immortal, too!

Potato chips can last for decades. Frozen pizzas are remarkably resistant to decomposition. And you know those processed Christmas sausages and meats sold around the holiday season? You can keep them for years and they'll never rot.

With meats, the primary reason why they don't decompose is their high sodium content. Salt is a great preservative, as early humans have known for thousands of years. McDonald's meat patties are absolutely loaded with sodium -- so much so that they qualify as "preserved" meat, not even counting the chemicals you might find in the meat.

To me, there's not much mystery about the meat not decomposing. The real question in my mind is why don't the buns mold? That's the really scary part, since healthy bread begins to mold within days. What could possibly be in McDonald's hamburger buns that would ward off microscopic life for more than two decades?

As it turns out, unless you're a chemist you probably can't even read the ingredients list out loud. Here's what McDonald's own website says you'll find in their buns:

Enriched flour (bleached wheat flour, malted barley flour, niacin, reduced iron, thiamin mononitrate, riboflavin, folic acid, enzymes), water, high fructose corn syrup, sugar, yeast, soybean oil and/or partially hydrogenated soybean oil, contains 2% or less of the following: salt, calcium sulfate, calcium carbonate, wheat gluten, ammonium sulfate, ammonium chloride, dough conditioners (sodium stearoyl lactylate, datem, ascorbic acid, azodicarbonamide, mono- and diglycerides, ethoxylated monoglycerides, monocalcium phosphate, enzymes, guar gum, calcium peroxide, soy flour), calcium propionate and sodium propionate (preservatives), soy lecithin.

Great stuff, huh? You gotta especially love the HFCS (diabetes, anyone?), partially-hydrogenated soybean oil (anybody want heart disease?) and the long list of chemicals such as ammonium sulfate and sodium proprionate. Yum. I'm drooling just thinking about it.

Now here's the truly shocking part about all this: In my estimation, the reason nothing will eat a McDonald's hamburger bun (except a human) is because it's not food!

No normal animal will perceive a McDonald's hamburger bun as food, and as it turns out, neither will bacteria or fungi. To their senses, it's just not edible stuff. That's why these bionic burger buns just won't decompose.

Which brings me to my final point about this whole laughable distraction: There is only one species on planet Earth that's stupid enough to think a McDonald's hamburger is food. This species is suffering from skyrocketing rates of diabetes, cancer, heart disease, dementia and obesity. This species claims to be the most intelligent species on the planet, and yet it behaves in such a moronic way that it feeds its own children poisonous chemicals and such atrocious non-foods that even fungi won't eat it (and fungi will eat cow manure, just FYI).

Care to guess which species I'm talking about?

That's the real story here. It's not that McDonald's hamburgers won't decompose; it's that people are stupid enough to eat them. But you won't find CNN reporting that story any time soon.

yeah, fastfood is fucking poison.

i was addicted to it in my youth but eating 13 McD cheeseburgers in one sitting helped me to cure myself for good. (damn, i still get nauseous just thinking about how they tasted after #3... yuk...)
haven't touched a burger in years.

 

[Rustyjay]

That's crazy, I am glad my girl learned how to cook good so we don't have to eat that crap.

 

[schwilly]

Can't touch any of that any more. A single mcdonalds burger will seriously put me down for the rest of the day and likely part of the next morning.

 

[Green Supreme]

Fast food is bad, everyone knows. Yet somehow it makes billions every year. Shows knowledge is not power. Peace GS

ps. maybe I could use a Mcmuffy for breakfast

 

[gloryoskie]

Cooking and preparing your own food will always let you out perform your peers who consume store bought meals.

Cooking and preparing your own food is more cost effective too. Cost/benefit studies prove it. Fast food is for suckers in my opinion.

 

[smokefrogg]

i feel like the taco trucks and hole in the wall taco shops all around my parts are far safer than any of the mass produced engineered stuff like mcdonald's and burger king and the like pump out

 

[thaicat]

How the HELL does bread not mold after 2 decades? That's crazy shit, right there!

I was stupid enough to eat a double yesterday on an empty stomach,and I am still paying for it.Had not had one in almost a year....Now I remember why.

 

[Kush_Master]

i cut out sugars, carbs and junkfood shit. basically went paleo.
never felt better in my entire life.

for shits and giggles i went to kfc a week ago, ate a cpl of hot wings.
i felt like shit afterwards.

whats ridiculous is the amount of FAT ppl waddling into the kfc and loading up on buckets worth of chicken. i wonder if they are simply not educated or if they wanna kill themselves with that shit.

Sorry, but I'd have to think most dogs would eat up a McDonald's hamburger. We are not the ONLY ONES who are stupid enough.

 

[foomar]

Recently got dragged into a macdonalds for the first and last time , haveing avoided such places for well over fifty years,
Revolting crap in every way , simply could not eat it , some of the lads at work go three times a day and are still always hungry , weak flabby specimens who will be lucky to see fifty if they carry on this way.

 

[supermanlives]

i very rarely eat any fast food. and when i do i know its crap but damn it does taste good. especially late at night stoned and drunk. jack in the box has gotten me a few times last month. but atleast jack is cool . ronald is a joke

 

[mintz]

.......

 

[mintz]

Personaly i think it tastes like shit,thats what baffles me why people love it.But each to there own i suppose.

 

[kaotic]

I like BK better anyway...that's not saying much though. I know for a fact that rats will eat BK. Makes you think twice about eating there now. Cockroaches seem to love it too. It's amazing what I saw in that place when I was 16.

 

[huligun]

You can spot the people that eat too much fast food
