It was bad enough when I watched Super Size Me DVD extras and learned that McDonald’s french fries are actually not made of anything edible… thus the total lack of decomposition. (I made this leap of deduction all by myself… I don’t think he actually ever accuses them of not using food in their product…)
Now, to add insult to injury, I have recently learned that Cool Whip is not food either. Well, that is not exactly what it says, but really, take a look at the pictures and tell me that you could possibly come to any other conclusion.
This photo is after 12 days on the counter:
I am the child of a pastry shop owner. The expensive, we-don’t-use-any-preservatives kind. I grew up with people sitting for their wedding cake tastings in my living room. (Which we, as children, were not even allowed to breathe in, never mind eat wedding cake samples.)
Much to my mother’s distress, I love Betty Croker, Duncan Hines, Chips Ahoy and any frosting that comes in a can.
I am almost ready to do my own Cool Whip experiment. If only to attempt to disprove it so I can continue to eat it with a clear conscience.
