The Rubin Report: McDonald's Hamburgers Won't Rot (PHOTOS)

[WhoIsNumberNone]

A chiropractor's office in Nebraska is displaying a 2-year-old McDonald's Happy Meal that has not decomposed,to prove a point that we should all avoid fast food.

This isn't the first time that we've heard about McDonald's food not decomposing like regular food, last year someone displayed a 14 year old McDonald's hamburger that hadn't spoiled either.

McDonald's has acknowledged that it's burgers don't rot and claim the foods are dehydrated, and therefor do not rot -- do you believe them or could there be an abundance of chemicals doing the trick?

We've discussed the importance of fast food chains for low income families across the country -- but can't we do better? Shouldn't there be higher standards for all of our food to protect people?

#0 Sez: "This is an old story that re-surfaces every so often. But it's important to remind people why you shouldn't eat at McDonalds."

1. If it's dehydrated, it has to be rehydrated to be made edible

otherwise it would be more like what it looks like, a hockey puck.

Come to think of it....

5. Thoroughly debunked quite a while ago.

It doesn't mold because it's small and thin. If you leave it in open air, it dries out before mold gets started. It you put it a plastic bag, sealing the moisture in, it will mold.

This myth is busted.

6. But, is it still edible?

7. Thanks for posting.

- While some may not be able to do anything about it, apparently there are others who need continuing reminders that they're eating poison. Otherwise McDeath would have been out of business long ago......

8. Has anyone tried this with a fresh homemade burger next to it?

And they would have to be the same size patty and cooked about to the same doneness.
