McDonalds food indestructible?

Happy Meal, Day 180
After telling a friend of a school teacher, who claimed to have kept a McDonald's burger for 12 years with little change, Sally Davies, a New York based artist and photographer, decided to do her own experiment. The friend didn't believe the claim, saying the food would mold and rot after just a few days. So Davies photographed a happy meal everyday to document how long it would take to decompose. After 6 months she is still waiting. She told the Daily Mail that "the food is plastic to the touch and has an acrylic sheen to it."
Of course McDonald's released a statement defending the quality of the chain's food. Mcdonald's spokesperson, Theresa Riley, also blasted Davies' "completely unsubstantiated" work as something out of "the realm of urban legends."
I tend to believe the story of the schoolteacher with the 12 year old hamburger, as well as the happy meal project. I've known a lot of people, embarrassingly myself included, who have cleaned out their cars and found bits of fast food, especially fries, that were dropped years before and looked just like they did the day they were purchased.
