4 yr old McDonalds food

You ask why is it bad and I ask how can it be good? Same difference. Neither side can provide drastic evidence for their arguments but common sense (remember common sense? it died off long ago and is slowly making a comeback) says that the extra chemicals, additives, hormones in our foods today are bad.

That's all I'm saying.

It's not the same at all, I haven't made a claim that it's safe or unsafe, I've just questioned the assumed truth that something unnatural is inherently unsafe.

Common sense? That tells you that buying beef patties at amazingly low prices which have cooked by a teenager with an hours training is a bad idea.

It doesn't tell you that unnatural=unhealthy though; that's called ignorance

EDIT: I really don't want to come across as though I'm defending McDonalds and whatever they've done to their food to make it resist degrading in a normal way. I'm just saying that criticizing something without knowing what's actually wrong with it is accepting ignorance as a valid point of view. Whatever happened to science?

I'd put that badboy in the microwave for 1 min and use it for my preworkout meal.

That burger didn't look all that bad aside form being dehydrated and apparently didn't smell bad either. Same for the fries.

That gives me an idea. We could sell these bad boys as instant snacks just like Pot Noodles. You peel back the lid, pour on some boiling water and it re-hydrates the burger back into a highly nutritional hot meal :D

I personally would not disagree with any "founded research", like if she came and said its due to xyz compound or chemical C. (Speaking of "founded research" i had a bit of fun with the splenda supporters unfounded arguments).
 
what does her weight have to do with anything?

what she is showing is that unlike regular food, this food does not break down and decay. is she supposed to come out with a scientific power point presentation with charts and graphs? nope. she presented a damn burger and fries that looks like she just bought it. however it is 4 yrs old and still looks the same.

most modern countries have crazy amounts of cancer and other diseases that werent around a hundred years ago. now alot of food is chemically engineered. correlation, highly probable. i doubt our bodies have evolved and created fatal diseases just because.
 
I would have preferred to see an article like at which point even McDonalds reacts to when faced with scientific evidence. Has the woman in the video done any analysis of a modern McDonalds menu and see which additives and chemicals are still present? No. She isn't in fact bringing any new scientific viewpoint is she?
 
But she doesn't really say she's bringing scientific evidence does she? All she says is "look at this, isn't it nasty?" I think the point was just to make people wary of food that's so obviously unnatural.
