    Ehh...you can leave certain fruit in a fruitbowl that will not get moldy, just get mummified.

    Everyone likes to rag on Mickey D's. Why not pick on Carl's Jr. for once? That place in ten times worse.

    I have a theory why our kids are getting fatter. They are eating more because they are smoking less! Tell me that ain't a coincidence. :D

    The moral to the story is everything in life can kill you so you might as well enjoy the ride.

    I don't want to go off-track but the same thing happens (or doesn't happen) to Margarine. Shelf life of imitation butter is as yet undetermined (none has gone bad to date). We buy real butter now.

    I found this :THE MARGARINE HOAX
    Which leads me to believe that all "Happy Meals" are liberally sprayed with margarine to preserve that " just bought flavor". Kind of like 'Marine Spar' vanish.

    Margarine is made by adding hydrogen atoms to the fat molecules to make them more saturated, raising the melting point of the fat so it remains a solid at room temperature, i.e., the margarine won't run all over the table. This process, called "hydrogenation," requires the presence of a metal catalyst and temperatures of about 500°F (260°C) for the reaction to take place. It causes about half of the cis- bonds to flip over into a trans- configuration.
    Hydrogenation became popular in the US because this type of oil doesn't spoil or become rancid as readily as regular oil and therefore has a longer shelf life. You can leave a cube of margarine sitting out for years and molds, insects or rodents will not touch it.

    Some fruits might do that naturally but not with chemical assistance. Meat should rot.

    Since this is a war forum, we all understand picking on the biggest target. ;)

    All joking aside, too much high fructose, too much candy, too big portions. One should eat until full, not until disgustingly stuffed.

    But, the trick in life is to end in good health, not with colon cancer, Alzheimers, or any of a number of other nasty 'methods'.

    Who was the comedian who stated "all you healthy people are going to feel pretty silly lying on your deathbeds dying from nothing!" : )

    (I should talk. I go to the gym at 4:45 AM every morning.)

    Well I did find on you tube an expirament made on Mc donalds food. The expirament lasted 10 weeks.

    he expiramented how long it takes a bigmac, a chicken McGrill, fillet o' fish, Quarter pounder, large fries.

    And compared it with a freshly made burger from a regular resturant with homemade fries,


    it doesn't last as long as king tut or Lenin.. but you'd be surprise how long it takes to break down...

    you be the judge...

    Wanna know somehting scary? The last time I had McDs Fries when i was in College sirca early 90s) I or my friend must have dropped a fry and didnt see it,. Well, I graduated college moving back to my homw toiwn. I cleaned out my car about a year later and found the FF-still looking as it did the day it could have been eaten. I threw it into the yard, a pidgeon came by to taste it-tasted it and spit it out and flew away (probably to its demise)

    Hi Suzie,

    have you seen those guys experiment of living one months only with Mc D`s food? The guy was crazy to do this and he had ruined his health as three different Doctors said. I Love it!

    @ ULITHI,

    here is one good looking and athletic kid from Mc Doof, like we call it!

    That movie is called supersize me...I saw it. That guy is pretty crazy to risk his life like that... Eating that much Mcdonalds is so unhealthy.
