If you read down to entries # 10, 12, 15, 17 & 18, you'll see this little experiment has nothing to do with the nutritional quality of the food. The happy meal just dried out inside packaging that prevented it being exposed to flies, mold or bacteria. We had a perfectly good loaf of sourdough bread once that stayed over a month without picking up mold. My roommate thought it was "scary bread". I thought it was just lucky not to have been exposed to any mold spores. Maybe the kitchen where it was baked had been thoroughly cleaned before it was baked? Also, sourdough resists mold better than other breads, probably because it's a little acidic and has a hard crust.
We've come a long way from the days in which people thought maggots spawned spontaneously from rotting meat, but I guess some people still don't realize how decomposition works. It takes insects and microorganisms to break down food or flesh.
