How Does a Happy Meal Still Look the Same Nearly a Decade Later?

As things on the internet go, a viral picture is becoming common place, but when Jennifer Lovdahi posted a still of a Happy Meal she purchased in 2010 to Facebook, social media made a gasp.

This is because the food had hardly changed over 6 years.

Lovdahi wrote : “[It] has not rotted, moulded, or decomposed at all!!! It smells only of cardboard. We did this experiment to show our patients how unhealthy this “food” is. Especially for our growing children!! There are so many chemicals in this food! Choose real food! Apples, bananas, carrots, celery….those are real fast food.”

The age of a McDonalds burger may play a factor into whether or not it is appetizing, but the fast food giant is no stranger to serving old food to customers.

In 2014, it was revealed that their foreign beef distributor, Shanghai Husi Foods Co., owned by OSI Group in Illinois, was selling them expired meat that had been reconditioned and given new expiration dates.

Dragon Television caught this processing plant reprocessing “expired and discarded meat”; sometimes picking food up from the floor and adding it to the processing machines.

OSI cooperated with the Chinese government in current investigations into the old and expired food that was reconditioned and sold as new.

And if there were any question as to whether or not McDonalds food is bad for the human body, the company itself encouraged employees not to eat the food they sold back in 2013.

According to McDonald’s McResource Line (MRL) website (which has since been removed), employees are encouraged to say no to eating fast food.

One post on the site read: “Fast foods are quick, reasonably priced, and readily available alternatives to home cooking. While convenient and economical for a busy lifestyle, fast foods are typically high in calories, fat, saturated fat, sugar, and salt and may put people at risk for becoming overweight.”

This is because that fast food contains unhealthy amounts of calories, salt, fat and sugars that leads to medical conditions such as:

• Obesity
• Diabetes
• Heart disease
• High blood pressure

Ironically, McDonalds pushes their meat products, such as the Big Mac and double cheeseburgers, because customers are not buying enough salads.

The company’s salads contain cilantro lime glaze and the orange glaze. Within the glaze lies propylene glycol — a chemical that is not legal to use in cat food because its safety has not yet been proven. In addition, propylene glycol is also used “as the killing and preserving agent in pitfall traps, usually used to capture ground beetles.”

Fast food burger meat is treated with ammonia as a bonding agent, which is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Ammonium hydroxide used to be in the production of McDonald’s hamburgers. The chemical, used in fertilizers, household cleaners and even homemade explosives, was also used to prepare McDonalds’ hamburger meat.

McDonalds, like other fast food companies have started using polyfluoroalkyl phosphate esters (PAPs) to coat the wrappers they use to help prevent the food from getting soggy from the grease used in cooking. The chemical also causes changes in cholesterol levels, alters sex hormones, and produces tumors, retards brain development, and infant death in animal studies.
