Did you ever wonder how old those fries under your front seat REALLY are? And they still look the same as the day you got them from the drive-through.

Oh yes! I'm sure every man wants to spend his honeymoon with a bride who smells like a Big Mac and fries ;-D

I'm sure you know that no self respecting gay man would consider a civil union in the house of McDonalds, I don't even like to be downwind from those places.

When I was a kid, milk went sour in four days, and clotted in a week, less if it was left out of the fridge.

Modern 'fresh' milk from shop/supermarket is made from a blend of fresh and powdered milk (read the label to see if they own up to it).

After four weeks in the fridge, it has still not turned sour.

Now I remember way back in the 1970s, I think, an announcement in the local paper that milk would now be picked up from the dairy farms in the mornings in a refrigerated truck, processed, homogenized, pasteurized and the four day usability would be extended to seven days.

Fresh milk now has an eleven day lead time and it still isn't sour or clotted.

So now I buy milk that is not homogenized, and it comes from an independent dairy farm that proudly claims to have no additives, just pure fresh milk. It goes sour in two weeks, but has an use-by date of four days after opening. It's still fine after a week.

As for bread? That's more difficult. Meat? I'm a vegetarian for the last 15 years. I prefer my meat to be living when I eat it, if you get my meaning. ;-D
