We all know fast food is bad for our health, but it seems every year something new comes out that shows just how unhealthy it actually is.
Over a six-year experiment, this mother and chiropractor named Jennifer Lovdahl began an experiment to show people how bad fast food actually was for you, yet even she did not expect these results.
Rather than break down and mold like any unprocessed food without preservatives, the four chicken nuggets and fries, which were purchased in 2010, had barely changed at all after all that time.
Six years ago, Jennifer Lovdahl decided to start an experiment to see how long it would take for a McDonald’s Happy Meal to mold or decompose. The food sat untouched with the original cardboard box at her Balanced Health Chiropractic office in Anchorage, Alaska.
“It’s been 6 years since I bought this “Happy Meal” at McDonald’s. It’s been sitting at our office this whole time and has not rotted, molded, or decomposed at all!!! It smells only of cardboard,” Lovdahl wrote in a post to Facebook.
The receipt is clearly dated from Jan. 8, 2010, and the cardboard box and receipt have disintegrated far more than the food has. “We did this experiment to show our patients how unhealthy this “food” is. Especially for our growing children!! There are so many chemicals in this food! Choose real food! Apples, bananas, carrots, celery….those are real fast food,” Lovdahl explained.
