1 Year Old Hardly Decomposed Happy Meal

Whoa..it was not so long ago since I heard my Granma telling me not to eat too much fast foods (especially the fried ones) because they dump too much calories in the body. She doesn't want me to gain too much weight. I thought so myself that anything too much is bad. For me, not all fast foods, meaning those that are readily available by the counter or precooked meals are not as bad as they are. For example, you can buy salad in most pizza outlets, some local burger company and Wendy's offer veggie salads. Veggie salads don't make you fat unless you smother it with too much dressings. I keep mine as plain as it can be.

This article I found while browsing my twitter made me look twice even thrice. A happy meal left in the open but no bug nor fly came near it just leaving the meal for a year but hardly decomposed. I hope this is not true. What I meant was, I hope that this experiment if ever did happen, did not yield the result published and burger chains and the likes are not doing such unorthodox preparations.. Cross fingers ..

The bigger they are the more resources they have to make their product stay healthy and not risky. Unlike small time food businesses who have limited but still think of how they can make their customers satisfied, stomach full and healthy-maybe that's why they don't earn much because the ROI is just around it's investment and that they don't use much preservatives, the product is not recycled the next day so they just have to invest on what is the demand-imo. I am praying that sooner or now these giant companies will not just think of personal gain but make a fair share with us consumers especially to the children.

It made me feel more at ease knowing that the burger I brought home the other night didn't take more than 24hrs to wilt. At first, I got so disappointed with myself for not putting it inside the refrigerator and that the hot summer days contributed to make the tomato and lettuce rot. I guess if there's none or maybe not much preservative in it I feel more relieved. It's a good thing it turns out to be my personal choice not to eat too much fast foods.


Cooking at home is still the best!
