But opinions do not equate to facts. Hence my turning what I initially perceived as a personal attack and insinuations from my friends that I am some sort of food hypocrite, into an acceptable challenge which I have both accepted and now planned. This experiment means to repeat the one in the article in as much detail as I can. http://www.facebook.com/home.php?sk=group_124609517592198 Starting on: Thursday 14th october 2010, to allow myself time to set up this 6 month experiment. Original Article http://www.facebook.com/home.php?sk=group_124609517592198 My evidence will be supported by daily photographs where it is possible, filmed footage and include details of odour. This will be posted on both my YouTube Channel and the Open Facebook group where I will post photos and has the capability of an open forum discussion group where people are free to ask questions and converse amongst each other. Location It will be done in my nice dry shed where I can be sure that the cat can't get at it. ************************************************************* *What do I hope to prove?* That McDonalds food is garbage, not what they make it out to be, and that at the very least they are guilty of false advertising. This rubbish is being fed to children by parents who are being misled by McDonalds about the quality of their 'food'. While I realise that this is hardly ground-breaking science it will serve a purpose: if the experiment does not yield the same results as the article in the Daily Mail, I will personally write to them with my results and demand both a retraction of the article and a printed apology from the Daily Mail for printing a fabrication. ************************************************************* The happy meal, if not completely adulterated by additives and preservatives (and is as they say 100% fresh beef etc.), should begin to show visible signs of decay and decomposition within at least a 10 day period. *Control groups?* 1. One home-made grilled burger with a toasted bun with no relish or cheese and as close to the plain Happy Meal in the article as I can make it. 2. As per above but with a cooked supermarket own brand frozen burger. 3. A standard Happy Meal with ketchup etc. I also intend to set fire to samples of the food to show what colour the flame is. (I will film myself doing this and publish it along with the photographs. Don’t worry, I am NOT a pyromaniac.) #3 Stopping The Missionaries of Charity https://annajohnstone.podbean.com/e/3-stopping-the-missionaries-of-charity/ https://annajohnstone.podbean.com/e/3-stopping-the-missionaries-of-charity/#comments Fri, 24 Sep 2010 19:58:06 +0000 http://annajohnstone.podbean.com/e/3-stopping-the-missionaries-of-charity/ false No 4160 This is a first for me. In this instalment I am joined by Hemley Gonzalez, a former volunteer for the missionaries of Charity. Talking about his experiences and his own plans for a new venture in http://www.ResponsibleCharity.org , Hemley also reveals some of the tragic short comings of the catholic order. Please take the time to both sign the petition, view his own website, and join the Facebook group by following the links below. http://www.stopthemissionariesofcharity.com http://www.hemley.com http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=326098194662&v=info&ref=ts #2 Not a Good Morning https://annajohnstone.podbean.com/e/2-not-a-good-morning/ https://annajohnstone.podbean.com/e/2-not-a-good-morning/#comments Wed, 11 Aug 2010 13:58:40 +0000 http://annajohnstone.podbean.com/e/2-not-a-good-morning/ false No 867 This is a second attempt as I had a technical problem. This is going to be a rare animal I have named whingecast. I promise not to do many but encourage my fellow podcasters do do one or to. I now feel much better. #1 A Short Introduction. https://annajohnstone.podbean.com/e/1-a-short-introduction/ https://annajohnstone.podbean.com/e/1-a-short-introduction/#comments Mon, 19 Jul 2010 18:22:26 +0000 http://annajohnstone.podbean.com/e/1-a-short-introduction/ false No 398 Hi this is just a short introduction to my new podcast. I've begun this to supplement my written blog, not to replace it and will probably refer to posts I have made in episodes to come. As my first podcast I don't expect this to be brilliant but I will make pains to improve in time, I promise. Many thanks to both my husband, Sean and friend, Al Stefanelli (Radio Free Atheism) for encouraging me to take this step and to fight back against my morbid fear of public speaking.
