Don't read this if you just ate...

I actually find the fact that fast food doesn't easily rot to be reassuring. It means I'm a lot less likely to get food poisoning, since bacteria apparently doesn't grow on it. For example, you're more likely to get sick from E. coli in the lettuce on your burger than from the burger itself, since the burger has been through all sorts of artificial processes to make it safer to eat.
