Today is the 2nd Anniversary of my Burger Museum. 2 years ago I bought a cheeseburger and fries at McDonalds…and put it in this jar.

If you compare to the first post of my Burger Museum  you’ll see the cheese now looks a little darker – otherwise, pretty much the same. I dusted this jar for the photo – the grime you see is on the inside. The burger fell about the jar when I took it down from its “show place” (okay, it’s on top of the frige) so I opened it to reposition it and took a whiff to see if it had any odor. It had a slight odd chemical scent.

I got the idea of making my own Burger Museum from watching Morgan Spurlocks movie “Super Size Me.” A thought provoking and a bit scary movie. Watch it and don’t miss the bonus material. Start you’re own burger museum. Check out others by searching on Google for “burger museum” and join the club!

I suggest wearing a disguise to go to your local fast food joint (you know, so your raw food friends won’t see you and point and call the raw food police).

The whole point is to illustrate that this IS NOT FOOD!

Please remember this the next time you’re having some fast food cravings. Drink some water, eat lots of fruit and run, RUN, RUN AWAY – it’s only the drug of junk food wanting it’s fix – don’t feed that fix.

Live raw, live well, eat fresh fruit and dance full of vibrant health.

Today is the 1 year anniversary of my Burger Museum. One year ago I purchased a cheeseburger and fries from McDonalds…and put it in this jar.

The burger and fries are a year old. They don’t look much different from the day I brought it home. Do you really think this kind of food will give your body fuel to grow, energy to live, nutrition to heal? If you want to live a vibrant healthy life – eat vibrant healthy food.

I got the idea from watching Morgan Spurlocks movie “Super Size Me”

For 30 days he ate a diet of only McDonald’s – three meals a day. He had to try everything on the menu and also “supersize” it if they offered. Part of his objective was to prove why many Americans suffer from obesity. He went to doctors before, during and after and it was pretty scary what happened to his poor body.

The movie is available for rent – check it out – funny, informative, thought provoking and scary. And don’t miss the bonus material! That’s where I saw his burger museum experiment. He also talks with Eric Schlosser, journalist/author of “Fast Food Nation: The Dark Side of the All American Meal.”  Highly recommened. The first part about the history of how food used to be prepared at home and the transition of buying it outside of the home was enlightening.

Visit the Bionic Burger site for a video on a burger museum. After reading Fast Food Nation you won’t want to ever set foot in a fast food joint again, but if you do – only go so you can start your own Burger Museum. A display like this sitting on top of your refrigerator is a blatent reminder of what not to put in your body.

Peace,
