Great article showing that McDonalds Happy Meals do not decay. Like those plastic Barbie Burgers, these things are INERT to living organisms. Listen. Bacteria won’t even eat their food. Isn’t that clue number 1 that YOU shouldn’t eat it either?? <\/p>\n

Look, there is nothing at all wrong with eating out, and I’m certain that even fast food chains have some decent choices. That said, as a rule, this just shows how unnatural, otherworldly, and built-for-­a-nuclear-­winter this particular Happy McProduct is. <\/p>\n

Any comment from the McDonalds organization (in the last part of this article) must be lame, necessarily, because they will defend their products no matter what. Whether their products are awful or wonderful, you will hear the same Happy McSong from them. It’s unfortunate that the very organization you should be turning to in order to get the real scoop (McD) is the very one that has a vested interest in telling an overly Happy McStory. <\/p>\n

So, I’m going to go out on a limb here, and propose something dramatic … Go to Target or somewhere, buy a 39cent bauble, and give it to your children with the food you make at home. <\/p>\n

Then, at dinner, practice this crazy rule. Eat the food. Don’t eat the plastic, even if it’s shaped like a burger and fries. Just sayin’.
