We have all heard the horror stories about Mcdonald's food not rotting. Is there really something diabolical about McDonald's that makes it not rot?
The most recent trend seems to be people displaying never rotting McDonald's hamburgers and fries. In the video below, a four year old Happy Meal is revealed, in which you would expect mold on the bun and on the hamburger patty. Surprisingly, the hamburger shows no signs of mold and looks very similar to a fresh hamburger. The french fries also do not show mold or decay, which does not seem possible when compared to moldy three month old potatoes.

Mcdonald's actually commented on claims that their food does not rot. On the company website, they state that experiments showing no signs of decomposition are likely from the food being d
Mediicaldaily.com interviewed food scientist, Dr. Keith Warriner who explained: "The patty loses water in the form of steam during the cooking process. The bun, of course, is made out of bread. Toasting it reduces the amount of moisture. This means that after preparation, the hamburger is fairly dry. When left out open in the room, there is further water loss as the humidity within most buildings is around 40%. So in the absence of moisture or high humidity, the hamburger simply dries out, rather than rot.”
It is probably best to worry about the nutritional content of McDonal'd rather than reasons for the food not decomposing. How many calories are in a Big Mac or a Quarter Pounder with Cheese? 530 and 520, respectively. Add a medium Coca-Cola for 200 additional calories and medium french fries for 340 more calories. A 6 foot male who is 185 pounds at age 35 (doing light daily activity), should only eat about 2,300 to maintain his weight. You can see how quickly the calories can add up when eating fast food.
