Mmmm Death tastes so good!

     Growing up, I used to love going to McDonald's. It was something that I valued to such an extent that when my parents started using McDonald's Happy Meals to reward me for good behavior. One of my favorite foods at McDonald's was easily there small fry. Those fries just have that taste that keeps you coming back for more! As a kid, I just loved those golden-brown twiggs of potato. I loved them so much, nobody could have persuaded me to think that they were bad for me. Now my eyes are open to what McDonald's fries really are.      
    
     They are the worst things on the menu. Forget the over-salting and the deep-fried greesiness. These things aren't even worthy of being called potatoes anymore. Watching a study conducted during the documentary; Supersize Me, Morgan Spurlock (the star and director) placed several different burgers and some fries in jars and let them sit for extended periods of time. The fries lasted for ten weeks, even though they didn't spoil. They were accidentally thrown out. Only the good Lord knows how long these fries would have lasted. Needles to say, if I can help it, I am not going to eat as much McDonald's fries as I used to!



Check out this experiment! Maybe even try it out yourself.

  1. Good post - the link is a nice touch. What's up with the background color? I won't tell you what it reminds me of.
