The Burger Lab: The Myth of The 12-Year-Old McDonald's Hamburger
A few small points:
1.) Of course there is some nutritional value in McDonald's food. If there wasn't, by definition, there'd be no calories, no fat. Clearly those things are in the burgers, which means that, while they're certainly not healthy, they certainly do at least contain real food.
2.) The extremely high level of salt, as someone else mentioned, probably goes a long way to keeping the burgers from decomposing. I'd recommend heavily salting a homemade burger for another data point.
3.) Regardless of the quality of the beef used, American, grain-fed beef is (as Michael Pollan says) basically fat disguised as meat. Whether all of these burgers rot or none do, none of them are healthy to eat.
4.) I love burgers, sometimes even fast food burgers. I just eat them very rarely.

Oh, by the way, you said "the some of its parts." I assume you meant "sum of its parts."

Ah, I see the comment where you said you were going to test the salt theories too, Kenji. Good stuff. Looking forward to the results.
