the indestructable happy meal (daily mail warning)

Do fried potatoes normally show signs of mould ?

Cant say ive ever left chips long enough to find out !

And before anybody says it, the preservatives argument is pointless, as McDonalds thrown anything out thats not eaten within 10 minutes. I used to work there and saw it done religiously. The amount of food that gets wasted :/
 
We had red bins, about a foot high, and maybe 6 " x 4 "

4 or 5 full of them every day in the bin. Twice that on bad days (you obviously dont cook as much for a Wednesday Lunchtime as you would a Saturday - so getting the ammount of food right was an art form)
 
Does nobody else find it staggering that between this and 'recovered' meat McDonald's have probably completely accidentally discovered some of the key processes (production of incredibly cheap meat and the ability to keep it from decaying almost indefinitely) that could solve world hunger if anybody actually cared?

The issue of waste is much more relevant than the issue of indestructible awful meat.

True, but that opens another can of worms...would it be ethical to fuel the poor with unhealthy foods that they would become dependant on?

Quorn is just a fungus...surely we could have shipped lots of it to feed the starving if they have 24x7 production lines making the stuff.
 
IT HAS NO SAUCE/OTHER STUFF!!

yea, dried out bread and dried out meat will last pretty dam long, regardless if it even has any additives

So much salt on everything, it helps it dry out even quicker

You learn something new every day! Inspired me to read the Wiki page about it...suffice it to say it's put me off:

Quorn is made from the soil mould Fusarium venenatum strain PTA-2684 (previously misidentified as the parasitic mold Fusarium graminearum [15]). The fungus is grown in continually oxygenated water in large, otherwise sterile fermentation tanks. Glucose is added as a food for the fungus, as are vitamins and minerals to improve the food value of the product.

The retail product was produced in 1985 by Marlow Foods – named after RHM's headquarters in Marlow, Buckinghamshire – a joint venture between RHM and Imperial Chemical Industries (ICI), who provided a fermenter left vacant from their abandoned single-cell feed programme.

When ICI spun off its biological products divisions from the core chemical business in 1993, Marlow became part of the Astra Zeneca group, one of the world's largest pharmaceutical companies. In 2003, Astra Zeneca sold Marlow, the Quorn business, and associated trademarks and patents, to a private equity firm for £70 million.
