so basically if u eat macdonalds you don't decompose !! must get a big mac meal!!!

fake story.  McD's doesn't have any more preservative in foods than anything else.  The bun doesn't even look dried out, either.  Something tells me that she's making 5 trips to mcdonalds every week...

I'll say true.

Does it even need to be said what a complete waste of time, effort and money it would be to go to McDonald's several times a week just to pick up hamburgers not for the purpose of eating, but to take pictures of them to post on the web?

If there's any chicanery in this "story" it might be that she intentially dried the food out. It looked like there were no condiments on the hamburger which by default come with ketchup, mustard, pickles and reconstituted onions which would provide enough moisture to allow bacteria and or mold to grow.

Without them, the salted burger patty would probably just turn into jerky. The bun probably has the same perservatives that would be found in something like Wonder Bread, which probably doesn't mold either if dried out. Dried bread crumbs/croutons don't grow mold either.
