Can I point to exhibit J which is jerky... and we should also consider exhibit B which are the breadcrumbs I've had in my cabinet for the past eight months. Without moisture, bread doesn't mold, it just gets hard and stale. Without moisture, the beef patty turns into a jerkypatty. You should consider thinking before YOU post. Where did you keep the bread? Laundry room will have lots of moisture to turn that bread moldy. If you kept it sitting next to your television set, it might do just fine from the lack of water in the air. Gosh, didn't they teach simple science in grade school? Karen, it's appalling to me that you can make these claims, but what's more appalling is that people actually believe you. I suppose though it's your right to say what you please, as it is McDonalds right to sell what they please. God, I'm hungry. Maybe I'll make a homemade pancake and keep it for ten years, then claim that flour, eggs, milk, baking soda, sugar and butter are toxic and deadly. http://aht.seriouseats.com/archives/2010/10/the-burger-lab-the-myth-of-the-12-year-old-mcdonalds-hamburger.html

There is no control, no variables, no information what-so-ever except 'I've had this burger for twelve years.' Was there any ketchup on it? Was it stored in that container while it dried out? Was it left on a counter in the kitchen? A shelf in the laundry room? Her kids closet? All this information is missing. I could take a burger made at home and leave it on my kitchen counter and keep it for twelve years. Meat dries. It becomes jerky. Bread needs moisture to mold. This is not an experiment. This is nonsense. And yeah, anyone can make a post on their blog, but if you don't have the facts or the science to back up such a ridiculous claim, then you should prepare for the barrage of questions from "know-it-alls" that don't have a life. You know, there hasn't been a SINGLE response from this woman about any of the questions posed in response to her claim. That in itself speaks volumes about her intelligence. Karen, you're an idiot.

I ate a burger from Burger Kin on my way home from college for a weekend. I was driving from Philly to NJ. I bought a burger, probably a double cheeseburger type thing. The next thing I know I am al most blacking out in may car - seeing spots. I did not feel nauseated, just totally dizzy and hot and as if I was going to faint. I had to pull my car over at the side of the road. That was the last time I ever ate at any fast food hamburger chain, The last time I ate at a McDonalds or Burger King was in 1988.

I say it looks plenty bad. I for one prefer my fastfood fresh. Beside, what's this about cloned burgers? Does anyone really want each burger to have its own flavor? They are supposed to taste the same. It is the recipe that is photocopied, not the meat. And protein is so a nutrient. White bread is usually enriched with vitamins. Vitamins are nutrients, too. Then again, I've heard that, for the most part, all meat and milk in the U.S. still contains synthetic steroids, passed on to the calves before they are born. What this would mean is that it is the same, if you buy meat from the grocery store butcher and cook it at home, if you buy a hamburger anywhere, if you purchase milk or cheese. There is no reason to single out McDonalds happymeals. If this is true. People can think anything they like. I say it looks plenty bad. I for one prefer my fastfood fresh.

McDonald's "I'm loving cancer" campaign only works because we vote for it with our money. If we vote for whole organic foods instead, we win.
