The only processed food I eat is cheddar cheese (and Pepsi, with sugar).

BTW, have you ever put McDonald's strawberry preserves on an Egg McMuffin? It's heaven!

I volunteered at my kids school in the science lab for a while and they had to do an experiment involving McDonald’s cheeseburgers. We had 1 spare and I put it in the fridge in its wrapping. A few weeks later it hadn’t gone mouldy and I thought that was weird so I left it in there. 2 years later and it had dried out but it looked identical to when it was put in. No mould at all!

I’ve heard of other people doing the same and it initially went mouldy where fingers touched it then mould died.

Imagine what it is doing to your gut bacteria!

The cold temp of the fridge is meant to prevent food from getting mouldy, so that was expected. Otherwise what's the purpose of the fridge... food preservation of course. The question then is why did you feel weird it hadn't gone mouldy while kept in the fridge?

Having said that, the main proof I have that it stupifies the brain is mainly because donuts and burgers are Homer Simpson's favorite 😄

in the fridge real food still goes mouldy eg cheese, vegetables etc. (not freezer)

Frozen safer than fresh.

On behalf of stupid people everywhere I’d like to stress that not all of us eat at McD’s 😂
