Our Mickey D Experiment

My 8-year old, like many kids, LOVES McDonald's Happy Meals. As a mom, I don't but I do allow him to indulge from time to time.

After I got wind of an experiment to prove the amount of preservatives in a Happy Meal, I knew that my son would love to do it. Basically, you get a Happy Meal, open it up, and leave it. Then watch...and watch...and watch...for a period of months. Word has it that the hamburger and fries will look virtually the same. Now what kid wouldn't want to watch potentially rotting meat!

Here is our before picture. We will take a picture every month to document it.
