"Fast food, frighteningly slow decay: Mother keeps McDonald's Happy Meal for a whole year... and it STILL hasn't gone off"
Proof, says the American nutritionist who took these photographs, that it contains so many preservatives that it is bad for the children it is aimed at.
Joann Bruso said: 'Food is supposed to decompose, go bad and smell foul eventually. The fact that it has not decomposed shows you how unhealthy it is for children.'
Mrs Bruso left the Happy Meal uncovered on a shelf at her home near Denver, Colorado, to see what would happen. She has revealed the results on her blog, in which she gives healthy eating advice to parents.

If this doesn't get you to not eat fast food, I don't know what will! I am posting this in the "breaking news" section because this is something that I think everyone must see - I know ATSers are all about eating foods that the government has pumped full of chemicals, so I thought this would be a wake up call to those of you who think the occasional Micky D's sandwich/meal is OK.
Just in case the photo I added from the article doesn't work in the OP, I am reposting it here:
I sincerely hope this stops just even ONE person from eating fast food anymore. I haven't eaten fast food for a long time - I admit I used to occasionally have McDonald's breakfast when I was younger, but that has stopped - for good!
In high school we all used to eat & hang out at Dunkin' Doughnuts before/after school. We'd all eat there breakfast sandwiches all the time. However one day I noticed an employee not only not wearing gloves (which I realized after that that they usually never did) but they were picking their nose right before touching my food! I know that is a bit off topic but I wanted to throw that in there in hope it adds to the grossness of fast (and semi-fast) food restaurants.
*edit to add this: I realize looking at the picture of the Mcdonalds food a year later is a bit different; actually only the burger patty looks different to me really, but be honest with yourself, food should be completely rotted and discolored completely after a year of sitting out like it did - how can you not agree to that?
