You’ll Never Eat McDonald’s French Fries Again After Watching This

- Renowned activist and author Michael Pollan illustrates how McDonald’s insists on using Russet Burbank Potatoes, a potato in America that is unusually long and difficult to grow. They further insist that their potatoes have no blemishes at all, which is hard because these potatoes commonly suffer from what is referred to as Net Necrosis, which causes unwanted spots and lines on the potatoes. If they have this, McDonald’s won’t buy them and the only way to eliminate this is through the use of a pesticide called methamidophos (Monitor) “that is so toxic that the farmers who grow these potatoes in Idaho won’t venture outside and into their fields for five days after they spray.”
When McDonald’s is ready to harvest their potatoes, they have to put them in giant atmospheric controlled sheds the size of football stadiums because they are not edible for six weeks. “They have to off gas all the chemicals in them.”

When you get to the bottom they start tasting like crap.
Up still eating McDonald's French fries
No way!!
I have found old McDonald's fries in my car when I was cleaning it, and they had probably been there for months, and they still appear edible, as if they were just made. no discoloration, no wilting or shriveling, no molding, nothing. they still looked perfect, now THAT is frightening.
@@SeldomPooper ehhhh
You lucky man I wish I found some French fries 🍟 😢 😫
@@SeldomPooper It’s not from the salt. It’s from all the preservatives. Take a French fry from a regular restaurant and weeks later it will grow mold and deteriorate as it should.
@@peterpiper47 Do you realize restaurants don't make their own fries? They're purchased frozen from large commercial producers through wholesalers and shipped frozen, just like McDonald's. In fact, McDonald's fries are made by McCain, who make and sell their own branded fries in supermarkets all over the U.S. There are no "boogie man" preservatives. The fries are bathed in sugar and sodium acid pryophosphate, common in baking soda and self-rising flour. The salt on the fries acts as a preservative, and the interiors of cars are typically dry, low-moisture environments. I've found fries made at home under the stove when cleaning and they look pretty decent, too. It's simply explained.

I see what you did there, 😎
I heard that the fries/chips from BK do not even contain potato anymore. I heard that they are nowadays made of corn, that's cheaper. And - according to what I heard - due to this BK is not allowed to call them "fries" (potato) anylonger and had to rename them in "King Fries".
I fully rate Burger King over smacky Ds and KFC.

Monitor is no longer in use in the USA, UK, or EU. It definitely was used for McDonald’s a decade or two ago. Not to say that fries aren’t terrible for you, they absolutely are.
Do you know since when exactly it wasn't used anymore?
Supposedly 2009
So is smoking and drinking. Id say with all these toxism fries are the least of your worries
@@RLSova Cigarette smoke contains more than 1000 toxic substances and at least 100 of them are cancerous, so I find this kind of comparation completely out of place.
Btw, I haven't eaten a single McDonald's chip for some years now.
So mcdonald still use it for other market like china, taiwan? I'm a resident from those country and feel unsafe on eating fries ❌
I have not eaten mcdonalds fries from last 30 years and i m only 20 now

"McDonald’s french fries are not made from potatoes treated with the pesticide Monitor. Monitor has not been approved for use in the US since 2009 and the EU since 2008. McDonald’s USA told Full Fact that the chemical had not been used on its potatoes for “several years”, and Mr Pollan also told us it was no longer used in the US, adding that his 2013 account was based on reporting he had carried out in the late 1990s."
🤧🤮🤮
Yeh 100% they replaced it with another pesticide that is just as bad but slightly different and different name.
Every company does that
DDT is still in use here in Australia. They just renamed it . Same poison though
@@isaaccraig3666they can literally tweak the measurement of one ingredient slightly & label it a new product so long the original is patented by them to avoid outside scrutiny and court cases. But then when someone tries to publish a form of free energy it’s stonewalled claiming there is the exact same patent out & of course it’s being held by a corporation or someone that is never planning to use it & wants to hold it just so they can keep the demand for oil high
"You'll Never Eat McDonald's French Fries Again After Watching This" ............. BITTTTCCHH. You really think that I won't engulf ... nay ... inhale french fries because they are "unhealthy". Pfft.

Please see our channel for help.
@Hoa Tattis It was not clear to me if all Russet potatoes have this pesticide process, maybe just the ones intended for McDonald's?
Even if all Russet potatoes contain the pesticide, you can choose organic ones, which do not.
oh no
@@helloken Being a food engineer and working in a food processing industry(for about 6yrs) I believe i can answer your question.
Will answer them on parts,here it goes :
1) No.. , usually All russet potatoes are grown with pesticides you may ask why? Because good one goes to industries, why to grow otherwise when you could sell them on higher price. They are in demand for resturants and food trucks (because McDonald's has set the benchmark of clean long chips so everyone tries to replicate it to attract customers)
2) Organic vegetables are good options( or you could say only option), but they increase the cost of that particular vegi . And i have talked to farmer's and according to them growing organic vegetables is a" pain in the ass" and decrease there production in a field because of spoilage. For small scale organic farming is good (not easy i must say..) , for large scale .....huh can be done but again WHY? most of them will buy cheaper ones as who cares color spots on chips at there home or cheap food trucks(when there customers don't mind and increase there profit margin).
Solution : Non... I'll be honest even though i am in food processing profession, we all are eating CHEMICALS. What one can do is consume less, eating fast foods or from resturants should be done only for occasional parties or festivals only.
AND Keep yourself hydrated !!

I'm not promoting McDonald's here but it is not the same in all the countries. Take for example in New Zealand it says on the packet it is New Zealand grown potatoes and i worked in NZ potatoes farms and they never used such chemicals. You only find shit like that in countries like USA where money comes first and human health comes last.
DIY MAN You’re right bro. It’s despicable... why does commercialism come before human health!
Jared Urizar you would think our economy would be better by having commercialism being first but nope lol
NZ has the 2nd highest cancer rate on the planet. These fries are the least of your concern.
@Boss Lady That's not true.
@Fashionista 77 😂 WTF dude I’m from Europe and no it’s not healthier it’s still POISON
Helps to explain that 'extra' on the "Super Size Me" DVD, where Morgan Spurlock puts some McDonald's burgers and french fries and a burger and fries from a regular eaterie in some jars and leaves them for 10 weeks. At the end of the 10 weeks, all of them were mouldy, except for the McDonald's fries, which seemed possibly untouched.
Take any french fry, from any restaurant, or fry your own and they will all look the same after 6 months.
@@karlsimonian1424if you saw super-sized me. You would know he had got a burger and fry from a local place to compare it too.
Sounds like Katt Williams is telling the truth in his stand up. 😂

Bro how can you steal educational information. This guy in this video wasn’t doing a comedy show lmao 😂😂😂
when i worked overnights at my job i practically lived off mcdonalds for like 3 weeks straight, and by the end of it i felt like my body was about to shut down. I haven't eaten any fast food from anywhere since then.
Im curious. What if you workout. Maybe ur body would have felt better even with fast food
I should be dead by now I been living off McDonald's for 3 decades
@@anoofadam351 My job at the time was warehousing. You could say it's something of a workout in itself but if you mean a proper gym routine I couldn't tell you.
The funny thing is farmers use pesticides on all food nowadays. McDonalds potatoes are nothing special.
All the toxic poison pesticide they used on the potatoes basically made the “chips” will never expire and decay.
sorry, i went to public school, and never took chemistry but i thought everything has a decay half life?
@@uk7769thats why preservates were made, yes lol
I haven’t eaten that garbage since a few times in the 1980’s. The indigestion I would get was my body telling me it was toxic to it.
Go back. It's so good. Heaps of stuff you eat daily is far more egregious re your health
You'll never believe in a clickbait title of a video that says ''you'll never...after watching this'' after watching this.
Nihilist I know, right. I have my doubts about the veracity of the claims here. I'm sure McDonald's has a rebuttal.

Brandon Ward You might want to watch "Super size me!" or the McLibel Documentary. They're both entertaining and informative.
Nihilist I see what you did there, bravo 👏
learned my lesson bec of you. . I will honor your words with my life my master. . .
Stopped eating out and it's been so easy to drop weight. Now just thinking about fast food makes me sick. The last statement really says it all. You've got people who probably aren't happy to be working at these places that prepare your food that you pay way more than it's worth. That to me says more than enough. Learn to cook healthy food real well under 30 minutes, you will never regret this since your body will feel so much better.
Yeah but fast food tastes better
@@vexirving5626 Not cooking properly then.
Learning how to cook has changed my life. It boosted my self confidence, cleared my acne grew my hair past my shoulders, increased my self esteem and problem solving skills, and improved my ability to focus and follow through on tasks, strengthened my ability to be consistent and to get in the habit of planning and thinking ahead.
Before I was just running running running behind feeling like I was playing catch up. Running late. Rushed stressed energy over my body all the time brain fog, confusion, ADD, driven by impulses like seeing a food commercial on tv, late night terrible greasy eating .
I didn’t realize how insecure I felt having to rely on strangers (restaurants, drive thru) to do the most important thing you can do everyday. I didn’t realize how bad I felt about myself to actually believe that fast food taste better then what I can make. Taste isn’t just about flavor it’s also mental and emotional, knowing that I cook with love and that the ingredients I Use are going to love me back goes into what “taste good” to me. Taste is also very visual to me. I make edible art and it taste divine. Fresh cracked pepper, a sprinkle of sesame seeds or garnishing with cilantro or lime is just so beautiful. They slap those burgers together like they don’t love you or love themselves and if you do get a nice dish (fancy restaurant) they want to extort you for all your finances and it’s not even enough for 2nds.
people complain about grocery store prices but the only thing that super expensive are prepared & processed convenience food products, not the produce.
EXACTLY! Last year, I was eating nothing but home cooked meals. I lost weight, started to tone up a bit, and felt so much better.
This year, I slipped up, and started eating more junk. Have gained some weight back, and feel like crap after I eat that stuff. You are what you eat. It's so true!
@@vexirving5626not at all, have you ever had a home cooked burger? Or good quality bread?
The potato's are washed and fried no toxic chemicals will be left
Already boycotted them since almost a decade.
It really shows
not a fan of McDonald's but if you look his statements up , they range from exaggerated to fiction

The truth will be somewhere in between this video and your linked article.
There is nothing like seeing where your food comes from with your own eyes. I found myself in northeast Montana during harvest season a couple years ago. This area is full of in enormous corporate farms that are 100's of thousands of acres. I was approaching a worker climbing off his tractor and I noticed that he had a Tyvek looking suit on. As I approached to shake his hand, he stopped several feet away and warned me not to come any closer because he had just finished desiccating the fields.
Curious as to what that was, I proceeded to ask what it meant and why it is done. It turns out that the crop was lentil, and they grow on very bushy plants that have lots of leaves. It is very difficult to harvest the lentils by machine because the greens on the bush clog everything up. To solve the problem, they spray the crop 2 weeks before harvest to kill all the greens, which fall off the bush. They can then harvest the lentils easily by machine. He told me that his family never eats lentils or soybeans because of this. After I heard that....I've never eaten a lentil since, and I used to love them. I will only eat soybeans if I know they are 100% non-gmo and certified organic. (Haven't found organic lentils yet)
The irony is....vegetarians eat lots of lentils as a staple in their diet. They think it is part of their healthy way of life.....not realizing they are eating death.
😮 thanks for sharing this.
There are plenty of organic lentils. At least in Germany.
When it comes to the USA I found organic dried lentils after a quick web search.
I don't know wether there are organic canned lentils though, but I'm always using dried lentils. Those are not hard to make. Simply soak them over night in a glass bowl and wash and cook them the next day.
And they are always cooked and washed prior to consumption anyway, because they are toxic.
So depending on the herbicide it might have a negligible effect on the food, but I need to look more into it.
Personally I'd still recommend it to avoid non organic lentils though.
@@ThePandafriendoriginal comment was 5 years ago, take that in consideration
That is scary as hell!
Vegetarians are death cult anyways. Karma is a bitch.
The pesticide he talks about hasn’t been used in the US since it was banned in 2009. Maybe this was an issue with McDonald’s fries in the past, but it stopped being relevant years before this video was posted
And they stopped with toxins or found a new one? Don’t be foolish.

Shut upp
The pesticide breaks down in 6 days. The claim about 'off gassing' sounds like total crap, they are just stored awaiting shipment to processors.
Notice that he give no actual sources, just anecdotal evidence?
Klaa2
Oh, so I should do his research for him? That idea won't fly in any professional or scholastic environment.
RetSquid It seems to dissipate out of the air in the surrounding area in 6 days, but he said that 'offgassing' takes several weeks, ie it takes six weeks for the pesticide chemicals in the potatoes to reduce to an edible amount. That doesn't mean it's gone completely either. Edible just means the maximum amount of a chemical you can have in the food so that the FDA will ok your food for consumption by the general public.
plantsnaminals
There is nothing to support that claim.
I was telling you what was said.
plantsnaminals
Right, but he presents no evidence to support that claim.

Excellent point, Ryan.

Did you all know that the "fresh carrots" you get in supermarkets are often from last year? They store certain carrots in special chambers for a year, and then they're sold. So fresh-healthy carrots you see in supermarkets, aren't as "fresh" as one would think.
In Europe they are buried under hay in the field they were harvested from over winter for the early spring crop to go to stores. I watch them do this every year near my home, they will harvest and tip the carrots along the edge of the field (off the growing area), cover with hay and leave them. I often see the odd scrounger in there stealing a few carrots for their dinner.
Carrots are never as fresh as when you grow your own veg as I do. I have seen how farming is done (I dont blame farmers in the least, they need to ensure income all year round), and Id rather grow what i want when i need it and know what is on it and how it was treated and with wat if anything.
Everything is a lie. We should all have local neighborhood gardens to grow organic food and stay away from everything commercial
@@shorelined1 I agree. That's why I buy my veggies at farmer's markets only.
This has been debunked, monitor has not been used in US and EU since 2009. This was filmed in 2013, he’s basing this off a 1990 study. The info about not going into the fields for 5 days after they spray is wrong, as well as “degassing” the potatoes. Took me 5 minutes to find this out.
i bet hes mad because he didnt get a toy in his happy meal box
Yan A lmaoooooo
true
This is cringy SJW to watch. You do not have to be rich to eat healthy. A diet of Walmart oats, bananas, chicken breast, brocolli and some variation home cooked will always outperform the health and CHEAPNESS of fast food restaurants. The secret or red elephant in the room is that lazy people do not cook. Poor people are usually lazy people!!!
Yan A seems like you love trash food "MM", bet you look / feel like it aswell.
Patrick: MY KIDDY MEAL DOESN'T COME WITH A TOY!!!
Do they spray them with heroin too? They are quite addicting
Or niccotine
No sugar in McD's fries, though, you gotta admit.
Luckily the fda heavily monitors pesticides in foods occasionally trace amounts of chemicals are found but nowhere close to an amount to make you sick. Also monitor pesticides in America have been banned since 2009
That kind of food is directly linked to development of cancer, not to mention obesity and depression. It's literally deadly.

“They're not edible for 6 weeks. They have to off gas all the chemicals in them.” Soooo... They're good after that then.
dujfraz yeah? hell yeah, When you eat them your stomach acid kills the toxic pesticide..
Scotty miles actually the pesticide breaks down into various harmless molecules. applies to most pesticides. but id still prefer hydroponics - no need for pest control in a sterile environment
Kitten Lyric
It was picked green from a hydroponic yard; and field crops are always rotated (fallow year) unless you work as a corporate farm that could change depending on the soil type & extent of fertilization.
Kitten Lyric Brands that say vegetable/fruits are organic are really tricking you. Smartphones are organic materials. What you really want them to state is cruelty free, no gmo, etc.
mayla Roll in the US in order to be labeled organic the soil from the area where the crop is grown and the surrounding area must test free of pesticides for at least 5 years. you can't just call something organic.
I'm watching this at McDonalds eating fries. . . Thanks for the free wifi McDonalds
the Wi-Fi has litterally never worked for anyone ever
Farrakhan Wolcott McDonalds WiFi is very good
Micheal Dapaah I think you are using literally incorrectly
I don’t get why people think they solved some kind of grand puzzle when they figure out fast food chains, like McDonald’s, aren’t healthy. No shit. Nobody goes to McDonald’s thinking that the food is healthy.
Turns out this chemical was banned in the EU in 2008, in the US in 2009, this clip is from 2013, and supposedly his information is from reporting he carried out in the 1990s.
No one goes to McDonald and expects have non-toxin ingredients
Imma still eat them fries
Me too, Patrice. I'll keep you in mind as I'm chowin' down on my next batch.
Hope you don't get ill all the time then go buy pharmaceutical drugs then something else goes wrong down the line then you buy more pharmaceutical drugs

I still want some maccas fries
I wish that the title wasn’t click bait since the substance of the talk was extremely good. First, I found his truthfulness about the state of nutrition science to be refreshing. Second, the paradox of the poor/rich family to confirm that in which I was raised. Finally, I really don’t care about the process of russet potato farming, it seems that proper precautions are being followed.
Very helpful video with a take-home message: Who's cooking your food? Humans or corporations.
So I'm supposed to believe this with no evidence at all?
k
I care about my life my family my body and my health. Haven't eaten fast food since 1991. I love my kitchen Nothing compares.
What am I supposed to do now?
good shit
@@paypur WTF?
I bet you still go ouside and drive on the interstate though 🤦♂️
@@markuzantwahn6351 yeah thats a good comparison lol
i had a friend once who was in the military and he told me i shouldn't be feeding my family off the McDonald's Dollar Menu one time like 14yrs ago. Assuming he was just referring to the fact that it was unhealthy compared to better food options, not that it was quite literally poison, i went on to explain to him how i was a busy single, disabled mom who's time and money were on a tight budget, and it was the most meat for the least money (i was raised by the type of Carnivores where meat was the main course and if there was no meat, it wasn't a meal 😒😔) he never replied after that.
i really wish he had simply told me what he Knew to be True at the time, instead of keeping quiet, allowing me to continue poisoning my family, and then silently judging me for it 🤦🏽
i guess my grandma was right: hindsight truly is 20/20 😔💔
He described fries so well, now I want dem craveable/snackable fries.

OH MY GOD AFTER ALL I'VE HEARD ABOUT THESE FRENCH FRIES I STILL LOVE THEM OH WELL
the wikipedia article on the pesticide says this pesticide is no longer used since 2009.
I was eating fries while I watched this. When it finished it went through the drive through and bought another large
Glad I didn't get it.
I haven't eaten McDonalds food in 12 years. Can't say I miss it either!

Well you gotta buy non-GMO ingredients before justifying home-made foods.
hey tiny hair on my phone
This is so underrated !! Why is this not in mainstream media ?
Because it's bullshit? The pesticide he claims they use, has not been used in the USA since 2009, and earlier in some other developed countries.
There's enough other stuff to scare people with, without lying.
I think it’s incredibly irresponsible that Mr. Pollan made this speech in 2013, using information he gathered in the 90s, he gives no disclaimer of this fact. He even goes on record a year later stating he knew that he was sharing outdated information, knowing that “monitor” (methamidophos) has not been approved in the US since 2009 and the UK since 2008.
I was eating McDonald's fries watching this and I'm going to continue eating them
Same! Man we are too badass

Not addicted. Seems like you guys are addicted to making people stop eating fries (-:
yeah but they taste good tho

This is pretty convincing. I always avoid fast food fries.
why the fries? to me they seem like the least unhealthy fast food staple
@@howdyimhowdy3751 wut
@@kurtis7975 i thought that he meant the he avoided ONLY the fries,now reading it again it's kinda obvious i read it wrong
Five guys fries aren't as unhealthy as mc donalds, they be bussin too.
Who else is joining 2019?
I hope this does not come to a surprise for anyone. It should be obvious that "fast food" is not as healthy home cooked food. Nonetheless, I really like this video and I am saddened when I pass by McDonald's and see that their drive thru line is full. For your own health fellow youtubers, boycott ALL fast food and together we can change the demand that is placed on our current agriculture to a healthier demand. Lastly, use extra caution when paid (or non paid I suppose) internet trollers try to discredit the truth.
Yes finally someone gets it
Fast food is my diet do you want me to starve ?! I love MCD'S fries
for me, in this case its not about health. its about the use of pesticide. Obviously with the mass production of food, pesticide is necessary to fill the demand. But in this case with McDonalds it is very unnecessary. The use of pesticides is controversial but regardless of anyones opinion they are killing our bees. We need bees and their population is drastically decreasing. In the end, we will be the ones who suffer from the consequences of our lifestyle

The food, like all processed food, is engineered to make it taste addictively good. That's why people line up for it while asking them to eat fresh, whole foods is like asking them to thread a needle with split hairs.
Y'all making jokes about not caring and still eating it.. we'll see who's laughing in a few years when you're all suffering from high cholesterol and constantly having heart palpitations.
I stopped eating McDonald’s in 1983....... it use to be ok in the US , but now it’s dog food
