Goodbye MickeyD's.
My days of fast food are OFFICIALLY over. Seriously. I'm not kidding. I haven't been able to get this image out of my head for 48 hours. It's disturbing on soooo many levels. So here you have it, the story behind this picture and the reason for no longer eating fast food...

Lisa Cain, the genius writer behind the terrific blog Snack Girl, launched anexperiment recently. She wondered, after years of digestive issues from eating fast food burgers, if chain restaurant burgers decayed at the same rate at which homemade burgers do.
The photo above is proof. Both burgers were set on a plate and left in a 68 degree room for 11 days. The major fast food chain burger on the left (click onher post to see which restaurant), looks as fresh and perfect as is did the day it was purchased. The homemade burger? Yup, it rotted, as food should.

Here's the question this leaves us with: What the #%$&* is that burger on the left? Is it even food? If so, what on earth did they pump it with to get it to last that long. Talk about gross. Just something to mull on next time you're contemplating a run for the fast food drive through.
Shocking, no?
