How long does raw and cooked meat last if you put it outside?
Title says it all really.

Also how fast does food you find perish?

A detailed list of all decay rates for TLD can be found on the wiki. As far as I'm aware, the figures are still accurate.

Edit: of course, in the current game build raw meat will last forever, since you can pick up and cook ruined meat to restore it to 50% condition.

Just leave raw meat outside on ground. After you reach cooking skill 5, all spoiled meat that hasn't despawned can be cooked to improve it to 50% condition cooked meat and eaten with no problem.

Do not drop decoys anywhere nearby or other meat might get eaten. Meat that has reached 0% will usually disappear when put into a container.
