Fast food meal remains unchanged after two years sitting on counter
naturalnews.com Here's a story to file in the "gross" category. For two years, a McDonald's cheeseburger and fries, along with a Taco Bell soft shell chicken taco, have sat on display, unwrapped and uneaten. That's not the big deal. The eye-opening shocker is that 24 months later, they still look as fresh-from-the-kitchen as they did the day they were served. Even more disturbing, bugs won't even go near the junk food. Wayne State University Assistant professor of food science Yafan Zhang says that the ability for this food to look the same today as it did two years ago is due to a not-so-surprising fact: they're laden with preservatives. Most health-conscious people are aware that fresh, quality food will show signs of spoiling within a specific time frame. Lettuce wilts; apples brown and soften; cucumbers can become moldy. Foods laden with preservatives, on the other hand, are designed to last significantly longer and withstand the onset of spoilage. It's why the fast foods mentioned above, which were put on display at Michigan's Vaughn Chiropractic to illustrate the importance of choosing healthier foods over junk foods, haven't changed in appearance.(1)
"It's basically mummified," says health expert of displayed junk food
"There's no smell from it, it's basically mummified," said Vaughn Chiropractic's Dr. Jacqueline Vaughn. "You can pick it up, turn it over and still see the cheese and pickle in the burger. Even in the summer when we get ants, the bugs won't go near it."(2) Food preservatives such as calcium propionate and sodium propionate are used to help baked good from growing mold and succumbing to spoilage. Buns, pies, cakes, pizza and pastries typically use such preservatives, which can wreak havoc on the body.Health damage linked to food preservatives and additives
