These pictures depict a home study that a nutritionist created to display the harmful effects of McDonald's food on a child's body.
STUDY =
- Joann Bruso put a happy meal hamburger and fries into a closet for a period of ONE YEAR
- The picture on the right displays the results.
"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."
Some people commented on previous blogs about this issue stating that this is not shocking because food decomposition is climate-dependant and thus lots of food does not get mouldy quickly. In certain parts of the world (France is an example), people shop for their bread DAILY. Food is supposed to spoil, especially anything made with yeast, and not last forever. The always-efficient North American culture added preservatives to our baked goods so we wouldn't have to go shopping as often and so that our food would last. However, Fast Food is expected to be just that. Fast. It is meant to be eaten immediately. That being the case, why is it so full of preservatives that it doesn't change over time?
I leave you with just one thought: Gross.
A new trend in the food industry will likely (and hopefully) be preservative-free!
Check out McSpotlight for some perspective.
hahahaha that picture is disgusting. I don't know what I'm more disturbed by though. The fact that it didn't change or the fact that someone put mcdonald's in a closet for a full year, and they didn't somehow contract mice or rats or something else.
ReplyDeleteSuper Size Me is a hilarious take on this. So disgusting...into the second day his system couldn't even take it.
Also, KFC just came out with a new sandwich called the Double-Down or something...two pieces of their fried chicken is the "bread" and then bacon and cheese on the inside...I know..I just yakked a little while typing it.
