Indestructible French Fries
October 24, 2009
This is a DVD extra from the movie, Supersize Me. This movie is about a man who eats McDonald’s for every meal, everyday for 30 days. Aside from the actual movie, this extra shows how their food decomposes after certain periods of time. He puts a a real burger and fries from a normal restaurant in seperate jars. He then puts different McDonald’s items in seperate jars. All the burgers start decomposing after two weeks, besides the Big Mac. It took over three weeks for the Big Mac to start decomposing. The real shocker is, after the whole experiment, the french fries from McDonald’s did not decompose at all. The french fries from the normal restaurant almost immediately started decomposing. What this shows is that McDonald’s loads their food up with preservatives and chemicals. Imagine putting all these chemicals and preservatives in your body. What does it do in your body?
well, its a good thing i love preservatives. seriously, there is no other way you can get food that fast and that cheap. if eating healthy is your thing, then you have the choice to do otherwise.
It is good to know. Food preservatives are divided into two groups: natural and synthetic chemicals. The benefits and safety of synthetic food additives is the subject of debate. It truly requires public attention about their health concerns. Salting is a way of natural preservation. I know, the french fries from McDonald’s has a lot of salt on them. It might be the reason why it did not decompose at all.
Wow, that’s crazy. However, even if everyone knew this, I doubt everyone would stop eating it. I know I wouldn’t.
And I was going to make a point like the last comment. Back before refrigerators, people would load up their food with salt so it didn’t go bad as fast.
I personally like McDonald’s fries the most because of the amount of salt they put on them.
