Good ol’ 1996…
The year of 1996 can be remembered for many things - for wellness consultant Karen Hanrahan, it was the year she decided to purchase and save a McDonald’s burger.
Ya…a 12 year old burger. (!)
Hanrahan uses this burger as a speech-prop to illustrate the fast food industry’s high use of preservatives to keep their food looking fresh throughout the time of production, transportation, and storage.
“Ladies, Gentleman, and children alike - this is a chemical food. There is absolutely no nutrition here,” Karen says of the burger.
Would you ‘salvage’ a food product to prove a point? Do you consider the food’s ingredients before you chow down?
