Yuck or Yum McD's

OK I'll be the first to say I love McDonald's, but this is so gross and turning me off fast. I read an article on Yahoo! about this lady who left a happy meal setting in her kitchen for six months. After six months nothing had changed about the happy meal other than it got hard as a rock.
What are we feeding our kids and ourselves? What's in that stuff to make it where mold doesn't even grow on it? What's wrong with just serving us a normal burger? I want a burger that doesn't perserve itself. My daughter isn't old enough to eat happy meals yet, but she does eat the fries. I'm thinking about cutting that out of her diet.
If it doesn't change in 180 days, what is that doing to our insides? Where's the owner of McDonald's when you need to ask all these questions? Now ask yourself, do when want to keep eating this?
I'm not going on some big McDonald's strike. Like I said I love McD's. But I think we need to set high standards for our food.
