Why do McDonald's and Taco Bell meals appear 'fresh' after YEARS in the open air?

A doctor's office left a McDonald's cheeseburger and fries along with a Taco Bell chicken taco in the open-air for two years to monitor what happened. The answer? Not a lot.

As the fast-food approaches its two-year anniversary on the counter of the chiropractors' surgery in Waterford, Michigan, the meals appear weirdly unchanged - with no decay and no funky smells.

Dr Jacqueline Vaughn, of Vaughn Chiropractic, told Daily Mail Online on Wednesday that she hoped to make people think about what they were putting in their bodies - especially her fast-food loving younger patients.

I guess preservatives aren't supposed to work that well.

Eskimos routinely hang fish in the open air to dry them, thereby preserving them for the winter. Dehydration of completely natural foods is a great way to preserve. Bacteria and molds need moisture to grow, and in its absence, cannot.

It's a time tested method.
