"There's no breakdown. I think once it gets in your thighs, there's no breakdown; it doesn't go anywhere!"

This lady obviously doesn't know WTF she's talking about. It's not like a McDonald's hamburger goes right to your thighs in it's undigested form. That comment she made has to be the single most irrational, alarmist, and stupid thing I've heard come out of a supposed media "diet expert" in a long time.

What's so alarmist about comparing the decomposition of a natural food and a manufactured food. Even mold rejects the burger as a food source, why should I expect to find nourishment in it?

<places cheeseburger into thigh storage for later>

Appropriately in the Horrorshow channel, good choice iwastheturkey!

Why don't they do a test of its effect when consumed by humans, instead of an irrelevant test? Salt and dryness prevent bacterial growth. BIG SUPRISE!

That's good eatin'.

I hate this kind of fear mongering. True, there are things more healthy than McDonalds, but if this lady knew anything about biological processes she would shut her trap. The human body has considerably more power to break things down than a lunchbox, it's called digestion.

Comparing a McDonals fry to an uncooked, sliced potato is ridiculous: the fry has been dipped in incredibly hot oil which kills any bacteria on it, then it is covered in salt, which dries the fry and inhibits bacterial growth (which is why it is a natural preservative).

People should watch what they eat, but silly, uneducated tirades against McDonald's isn't the right way to get people to change their habits.

0:30ish "Why are our kids eating this?"

Better question: Why are WE eating this? Why the hell's everybody invoke "the kids" when they want to make impact?

Why is the diet expert on obesity so fat?

Ok so the old burger doesnt look that bad, why dont you take it to a lab and analyze it see if anything is actually growing on it dont just speculate with empty questions that you can spin either way. "McDicks food doesnt go bad so you dont have to worry about spoilage when you buy a meal there that makes it safer than many other fast food joints" for example. Interesting but lacking any real information.

Trans-fats FTL.

This says more about paranioa and the preserving power of a plastic lunchbox than the contents of McDonald's burgers. The way this fearmongering fatso slips in comments like "the most unhealthy food there is" reveals all. She has an ideological bias against McDonald's, but her evidence does not hold up. McDonald's burgers are high in fat and calories, but that's it. They metabolise like ordinary food because they ARE ordinary food. The ingredients list is available for all to see, there's no weird super-preservative in there.

And she makes stupid, credulous comments about believing that it doesn't go away when it gets to your thighs. This vacuous comment is unsupportable, she knows it, and should ba ashamed of itself. When you digest a burger, its constituent parts behave like all other digested food.

diets : suck
manufactured food : suck

the two fighting : priceless.

If my body is made of McDonalds' burgers and fries, it should last FOREVER!

Almost didn't upvote, but anything that will get people to eat less of this stuff should be out there, I guess.

I was with her until she made the wild claim: "it doesn't break down in our thighs"

It is said that the dead decompose far slower these days than in the past. Manufactured food induced mummification rules!

It's fun to see people who don't understand how salt works. We didn't always have refrigerators, you know.
