Do McDonald's burgers have an unnaturally long lifespan?

Its a recurring theme over a few years.

http://www.occupymonsanto360.org/2012/02/06/why-mcdonalds-happy-meal-hamburgers-wont-decompose-the-real-story-behind-the-story/

The claim I want to examine is:

The burgers are so processed and impregnated with chemicals that makes it repulsive to microbes and any other life forms, and it is evidence that it is harmful to humans who consume it.

An impactful quote from the article:

There is only one species on planet Earth that’s stupid enough to think a McDonald’s hamburger is food. This species is suffering from skyrocketing rates of diabetes, cancer, heart disease, dementia and obesity.

A similar question: Do McDonald's burgers have an unnaturally long lifespan?

I believe that it is a combination of high salt and quick dehydration, so only the high salt is problematic to humans.

    *and it is evidence that it is harmful to humans who consume it.*. No it is not. Bacteria do not grow on honey either. – nico May 05 '12 at 20:02
  • @nico, yes good honey has been recovered from the pyramids (or should I be skeptical about **that**?). But that claim kinda chills me. – Jesvin Jose May 06 '12 at 08:42
  • @aitchnyu honey is a natural preservative. It's evolved that way as its intended purpose is for long term storage as food for bee colonies (long term as in months of course, not centuries). – jwenting May 07 '12 at 09:21
