Anyway - so what would happen if I left a Five Guys burger or a Marguiritaville burger or a Lopez burger in a bag in my car for a few days or a week? I am sure it would become disgusting looking.

I have read many of your posts and I know you are a food aficionado - salads, etc instead of the meat at Golden Corral. Please do not try to ruin it for us that like some of the other things in life.
Hello!

From Merriam-Webster dictionary:
aficionado: a person who likes, knows about, and appreciates a usually fervently pursued interest or activity.

Okay, I am okay with that. I am fervently interested in good food because it not only tastes great, but keeps us alive, and affects the quality of life; and I want to live in The Villages, and be healthy to enjoy it all, for decades! Who would ever want to leave this charmed and magical place?

To answer your query, I would expect that non-chemically-preserved hamburgers left in a car would break down in a natural manner (and as you say, would definitely look disgusting in the process), and would eventually return to the environment naturally, just as they would do if we ate them; and because of that other naturally meat-eating creatures would eat them, also, because they would recognize them as food; they eat only for nourishment, not for entertainment.

Chemically preserved hamburgers, on the other hand, would virtually never look disgusting; just get smaller and harder; but they would linger on and on right there on the car seat, and not break down; that's one of the reasons we have so much colon cancer and other intestinal disorders in the industrialized world. Now, that, ruins things.

Actually, what I had said was that Golden Corral has good meats and other good protein foods, along with the salads, veggies, etc.

Not meaning to ruin anything for anyone; I think of all TOTV's as my friends, whether we have met or not.
