This shit did tons of damage in the food education areas. So many morons, included here, screeching at McDonald's.

It's a cheap salty burger. Nothing more, nothing less.

Neither does anything else that is salted to all hell. Salted meat and brine-pickled stuff were some of the earliest ways to make things last for months. And I guarantee that in the right conditions, the fries will decompose just fine.

It's not even really salt. It's just dryness.

McDonald's food can be kept from decomposition when laid out flat to be dried out from the ambient low humidity air. But that is true of any other burger or fries of the same size.

And when kept in a moist/humid environment, the McDonald's food will mold and rot, just like any other similar food in that environment.

but not enclosed in epoxy resin! and that, my friends, is the decomposition that counts.

Oh, really?

I've never heard that my people's process of brining & dessicating seafood would allow it to be stored without refrigeration until juuuust now.
