Happy Meal; truly happy or not?

Do you ever wonder what happens to food if left alone to decompose? It simply does just that. Decompose. Bugs will swarm over it, it will get all shrivelly and smelly and may even start leaking.
However, it seems produce from the fast food chain we all love and hate "McDonalds" does not decompose very well. Does that even make it food? If eatables do not decompose in air, one can only imagine the damage they must be doing to our intestines.
Sally Davies, a New York Artist found herself purchasing a happy meal from McDonalds one day and found herself curious as to what it would look like if simply left there on her table top. She photographed its decomposition process almost everyday on her Flickr account and  the results after 6 months showed the burger and fries as almost in the exact same position and shape as the original fresh ones.

This caused concern and fresh speculation upon the contents of McDonalds food, in addition to the slander from Morgan Spurlocks documentary 'Supersize me' and other rumours of its chicken abuse and adulterated meat (injected with supplement chemicals to make it bigger).
In case you're wondering, this is what happens when normal food, untouched with chemicals is left to decompose. A netblogger by the name of Snack Girl (http://www.snack-girl.com/snack/cheeseburger-take-2-day-11/) tried redoing this experiment by watching the process of two burgers, one a McDonalds cheese burger and the other a homemade cheeseburger for 11 days. After the proposed time period, this was the result

This goes to show, therefore that McDonalds fills its food with preservatives, that 'surprisingly' are not good for your body at all.
Here's another reason why we should avoid going out for lunch.
