It's no hoax. A scientist has just finished a long term study on the preservatives used by the likes of McDonalds, Burger King and the likes. My wife was reading the findings out to me at the weekend - it made for bad reading. Fortunately for me, I don't like fast food chains, I'd rather eat a home made burger.
I have CDO, it's OCD with the letters in the right order; just as they ruddy well should be

It doesn't disturb me, but then I never eat at MacD. Make 'em yourself, I say! But then, maybe it should be compulsory watching when you get pregnant? Just a thought...

This was near the end of the article: "From a McDonalds correspondent:" "Our hamburgers are cooked and prepared with salt, pepper and nothing else -- no preservatives" :) I can't believe that there are no preservatives at all.

Certainly in the UK it is true (I can't vouch for any other country). I have been on business to the factory where the UK burgers are made, and can confirm that they are very proud that all that goes in is good chunks of beef, salt and pepper. And the chunks are just that: roasting joint size lumps of beef off-the-bone. No preservatives are needed, as they are chilled during manufacture and closely temperature monitored at every point in the chain. They could not answer when asked "how do you remove the flavour then", insisting it is done at the point of sale. I still wouldn't eat one for a bet though... (unless, obviously, there were obscene amounts of wonga involved)

The issue, according to the scientist, wasn't how long the burgers lasted. What surprised him was that the chips (after 16 weeks) were still the same as the day they were preservedcooked.

That's because they have no potato in them, they are just reconstituted starch. The nearest they get to potatoes is when the delivery van drives past a greengrocers.

It would be interesting to have some kind of comparison, a 'homemade' hamburger for example. It looks to me like they applied one of the oldest ways of preserving something at all: Removing all moisture. This is a hamburger mummy, something which can remain even thousands of years as long as it does not get moist. In King Tut's tomb they found some grain and a few seeds actually grew when they were sowed. There was still some life in them after being stored in a dry and dark place for a few millenia.
A while ago he asked me what he should have printed on my business cards. I said 'Wizard'. I read books which nobody else understand. Then I do something which nobody understands. After that the computer does something which nobody understands. When asked, I say things about the results which nobody understand. But everybody expects miracles from me on a regular basis. Looks to me like the classical definition of a wizard.
