Day five McDonald's challenge

So I decided to open the McDonald's meal first just to make sure I was smelling accurately. Still no foul smell no mold it looks pretty much the same as the day we bought it. Now the fries do seem to be starting to loose a little crispness but this could also be attributed to being in a plastic bag.
The bag with the food I made did not even get opened tonight because when I picked it up I could already smell it!!! You can see through the bag mold is growing at a rapid rate and the potatoes are rotting. The bread doesn't have as much but it does appear to be starting in a couple of spots.
At this point I don't think you could pay me to eat at McDonald's! I really would like to know what they are doing to this stuff in order for this to happen it's quite disturbing.
What I'm really wondering now is who do we trust? If you don't trust McDonald's do you trust Wendy's, Arby's, Chick-fil-a? At this point I just don't know. I think I'll be skipping the drive through anywhere for quite some time though.

The big switch out

So here's the thing we all like certain foods and there is no reason to completely take them away. It's all about how it's made and what it's made with and of course moderation. I love love love chick-fil-a I could eat there every day seriously but I realize that would not be so great for me so I have vowed to eat there much less(and out at all much less.) Well the big test came today when I knew they were having family night which means they would be having this awesome balloon artist face painting and a drawing to win some veggie tales movies. What's a girl to do in this situation. I made homemade baked coconut chicken nuggets with a orange reduction sauce for dipping and baked sweet potato fries. This is what we ate for dinner and the kids loved it and ate every single last bite of those potatoes. Then since everyone ate so well we went out to Chick-fil-a for balloons and a little ice cream. We ordered kids size cups and I shared with the baby. I think this was a very good compromise and although we did have ice cream it wasn't much and I didn't let them get any chocolate syrup or anything like that on it and I know they got some good nutritious food in them. Also ice cream is not something they get every night! All in all we had a successful nurition day I would say =)
Anyone else with some good compromise or switches they have made?
