You might not want to eat hamburger any more if you see the pictures here. The two McDonald’s Happy Meals look pretty much identical.


In fact, this is the same meal, photographed 12 months apart, according to the Daily Mail. It says the McDonald’s meal shows few signs of decaying apart from the beef patty shriveling.


Joann Bruso, the American nutritionist who took these photographs, left the Happy Meal uncovered on a shelf at her home to see what would happen, according to the report.


Astonishingly, she said no flies or other insects were attached to the food during the year-long experiment, the report added.


She claimed it is because the food contains so many preservatives that are bad for the children aimed at.


“Food is supposed to decompose, go bad and smell foul eventually. The fact that it has not decomposed shows you how unhealthy it is for children,”the paper said.


Research showed the bun has several preservatives such as calcium and sodium propionate, while the pickle slice has the preservative sodium benzoate, Daily Mail said.


And the fries, which Mrs Bruso said were still golden brown after a year, contain citric acid and sodium acid pyrophosphate, which maintains their color, according to the report.


“Now you know why it's called junk food,” Bruso was quoted as saying.


이런 십알
이딴 쓰레기를 내가 먹고 있었단 말이야?
