      What's a MacDonald's Happy Meal, anyway? The container, the toy, the french fries, or the chess burger?


      It comes with a cup of drink, cheese burger and a toy in a paper container... I think the fast-food item would refer to the cheeseburger... 😉

      \"chess burger\"?! :clubmyself: I think I have had one too many Happy Meal in my youth.

        I suppose Denver is rather cold and dry since it is in Colorado :? not very far from living in a fridge lol.


        may be the food dried up the way dry flowers dried up and still preserve most of colours and shape? :idea:


        Check out the pix of the happymeal here.

            Maybe Joann Bruso lives in a fridge? Or maybe Macdonald's has stumbled upon some age-old Egyptian secret for its dead cows....


            the same thing came to my mind when i first read the post ...

                  Remember I came across this clips \"Think twice before you eat mcdonald\" posted by a parent here.


                  http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/content/think-twice-you-eat-mcdonalds

                  Yeah, it really make me think twice before I want to 'enjoy' this fast food... 🙂

                    actually all the main items in the happy meals; cheese burger, chicken nuggets and hot cakes, are also on the main menu. I wonder why \"happy meal\" was singled out :?

                      Tankee, Happy Meal is your favourite, is it?

                      I don't think it's being singled out lah. It's just the one sample this woman bought for the experiment, which mean everything is just bursting with preservatives, yikes.

                        Agree with Blobbi. This is only an experiment by Joann Bruso to prove the power of preservatives.


                        Below is extracted from 'Daelyn Fortney on 3/21/2010'

                        One year ago, in an attempt to prove the power of preservatives, author Joann Bruso, placed a newly purchased McDonald's Happy Meal, uncovered, on a shelf in her office. On March 3, 2010 the Happy Meal celebrated its first birthday with surprisingly little change.

                        During the first days of the experiment, Bruso wrote, “My husband is concerned about the odor. I ask, ‘What do ya mean?’ After all it smells yummy. He says, ‘What about when it putrefies, decomposes, and turns rancid?’ I answer, ‘That’s the point of my experiment. It’s NOT supposed to decompose, only a natural food would do that! If it does, I’ll move it into a glass container, to control any unpleasant smell. Then, I’ll have more to report.’”

                        Over the year, the bun turned crusty and the hamburger patty shrunk a bit, but to-date no mold is present and Brusso never experienced any foul odor issues.

                        “Food is supposed to decompose, go bad, and smell foul…eventually,” says Brusso. “Food is broken down into its essential nutrients in our bodies and turned into fuel. Our children grow strong bodies, when they eat real food. Flies ignore a Happy Meal and microbes don’t decompose it, then your child’s body can’t properly metabolize it either. Now you know why it’s called “junk food.”

                        The author continues, “I think ants, mice and flies are smarter than people, because they weren’t fooled. They never touched the Happy Meal. Children shouldn’t either.”

                        Joann Bruso, author of Baby Bites - Transforming A Picky Eater Into A Healthy Eater, lives with her husband of 40 years outside of Denver, CO. She has four grown daughters and eight grandchildren.
