Have you ever wondered what would happen to a MacDonald's hamburger is you just left it on a shelf? Karen Hanrahan did just that. She bought a a hamburger at a Chicago area McDonald's in 1996. Consumer awareness of environmental issues and organic foods have grown at the cost of fast food's esteem. Meanwhile, the number of Internet users has expanded exponentially. what has not changed much over the past dozen years is Hanrahan's hamburger.
Recently, Hanrahan posted her favourite prop for her nutrition lectures, the hamburger from 1996 on www.bestwellnessconsultant.com.
When she bought the hamburger, she took it home and put it on a plate without the bun and then stored it in her cupboard. Later she transferred the hamburger to a plastic sandwich box. She has done nothing to preserve the hamburger! She uses the hamburger in her presentations to prove that McDonalds is serving food that has no nutrition. Mcdonald's is not amused.
Wonder how long it will take for some scientists to discover her website and decide to study the hamburger. (Maybe McDonald's will consider doing the study.) I am not a fan of McDonalds anymore which does not mean that I don't crave a quarter pounder once in a while but I also realize that the many calories that it offers are not good for my figure or health. Like to spread my calorie intact out over the day and stop my hips from spreading more than they are. However, McDonalds is serving food with too many calories! Those are not the only issues that I have with McDonalds but that is another entry.
Hanrahan is a Shaklee product sales person-personally, I question the use of vitamins that are not in food. We should attempt to eat foods that provide our dietary needs and if possible not use vitamin supplements.
Some food for thought!

Thank you for the mention on your blog! If I may, our supplements are sourced from whole foods. Not all vitamins are. If a person ate according to the food guide pyramid each and every day with nutrient rich foods, not conventional nutrient depleted foods we could then proudly eat off the land and be well. Today we just don't/can't do that, which is why the value of supplementation is so great!
