IDK, I remember seeing a post a few years back of someone who left a McDonalds cheeseburger and fries out to see how long it would take to spoil. IIRC the damn things went on close to a decade without a single bit of decomposition. While that may not be directly poison per se, that amount of preservatives and chemicals can’t be good for the human body.

There’s a lot of food that won’t rot if left out to dry.
Not that McDonald’s is any good, just that that particular experiment was flawed because there was no control showing that other food left out in similar circumstances would have decomposed more (and even then, decent burger patties make McDonald’s’ look like jokes; “thick and juicy” is more likely to decompose than thin and whatever you’d call the moisture level in a McDonald’s burger).

It’s not 'chemicals", it’s grease. The frying process removes almost all the water in a McDonald’s burger.

That doesn’t explain the untarnished bun.

Bread doesn’t rot, it molds. Whether mold can grow depends on the conditions it’s kept in. The ingredients are availble to the public, the only preservative in the bun is calcium propionate which you’ll find in just about any other baked good on store shelves.

It’s ultraprocessed food with additives and ingredients we aren’t fully sure what effect they have on the human body.
