Default Earthworm preservative

Comment: Someone told me that all precooked meat (at least at fast food restaurants) use a preservative made out of earth worms. If you could let me know one way or the other I'd appreciate it.

Oh Lordy I hope not. I wouldn't doubt it at some places, but I hope not!

Well of course they do! Don't you know putting an earthworm in with your food keeps it fresher longer? Geez I thought everyone knew that.

Untrue. All fast food services are required by law to give an answer to anyone asking of what the ingrediants of the food are, and all records of major fast food services have shown that there are NO earthworm-based preservatives in the meat.
