FYI

I was reading an email news letter in my emails and came across this interesting tidbit.  It makes you think about what you are eating.  Happy meals don't decompose.  A lady left it out for six months.
It's as hard as rock with no signs of mold what so ever.   check out this link if your interested.

I was thinking maybe I could go buy some let them sit out and use them for realistic play food.  It would probably be cheaper than buying the plastic kind.  And the kids would love having the french fries to play with.
I wonder if they are still greasy after six months!!

Wow. Have you ever seen the show SuperSize Me? If the Happy Meal thing didn't turn you off fast food, that show will! Great idea for the play food!

Yikes! Makes you wonder what you're eating doesn't it. I wonder if other fast foods will do the same thing.
