Why You Should Be Scared of Happy Meals!
I once knew a nutritionist who had a McDonald’s burger and fries sitting on her book shelf for 5 years.
That was 2 years ago. It never broke down in the normal way food decomposes. To this day it looks just the same as it did 2 years ago. I wonder what that means it’s doing inside of our bellies!?
You ought to wonder too!
Why We’re Scared Of Happy Meals
By: Kristian Laliberte
It’s pretty much conventional wisdom that you don’t head to McDonald’s for a healthy treat. And, if you’ve seen Fast Food Nation, you’ll know that the chain’s offerings have got a whole lot of icky ingredients. Though we don’t really like to think about that while munching on a Big Mac, NYC artist Sally Davies did, creating the Happy Meal art project that provides evidence that Mickey D’s food really is the worst shiz you can put in your body. Davies took a Happy Meal sized burger and fries, put it on her living room table, and as Bravo says, decided to “watch what happens.” She photographs said meal every day, and 137 days into the project (with no end in site), the results are remarkable in the fact that they’re really unremarkable. To our eyes, the burger and fries look exactly on the same on day 1 as on day 137. Hungry yet?
