Mystery Meat
Have you ever wondered how long your favorite fast food items would last until it begins to rot and grow mold? Well, according to Karen Hanrahan so far her plain McDonald’s hamburger from 1996 (pictured below) has yet to produce any mold.
Hanrahan is a wellness and nutritional consultant from Illinois who advocates being healthy naturally. Apart from consulting, she hosts several health-oriented workshops from which she uses the supposedly 12 year-old burger to illustrate how much of today’s food (quick service or not) is a type of “chemical food” and has little or no nutritional value.
As it turns out, the validity of this burger is debatable. According to Too Shy to Shop, since the burger did not have any fresh ingredients, there was never any potential for mold to grow in the first place.
For SuperSize Me fans, this experiment may seem familiar. Morgan Spurlock did a somewhat similar experiment and videotaped it. Click here to watch but just as a warning, the decaying food may be graphic for some people’s taste.
Amanda’s strives to use only the freshest and most natural of ingredients for its burgers- something anyone can appreciate especially after seeing the picture and watching the video!

It sounds as though McDonald’s burgers are less biodegradable than our plastic!
Did you know that there is a plastic which is both recyclable and biodegradable? It isn’t the well known hydro-biodegradable plastic known as spudware, which is not recyclable. Apparently, spudware is no longer welcome in commercial quantities at compost facilities, according to Whole Foods. See the alternative at: http://biogreenproducts.biz/ .
If you are interested in our products, we would be happy to speak with a representative of your organization.
Thanks,
