And the price has gotten outrageous. When a meal at a fast food place costs more than throwing a steak on the grill, might as well eat steak.
I agree with this. I went on a pretty major health kick last year in January.
I retrained my body over about 6 months. Now fast food makes me sick and I crave fruit all the time. Wasnt easy but worth it in the end
Not the case in Europe. But he says it's everywhere which makes me suspicious of the rest of what he says.
Yeah, Australia also uses Innovator and Russet Ranger potatoes. I'm also dubious about the idea of there only being 1 pesticide being capable of killing this aphid. I'm also not sure what the point overall is... Is the idea to scare us away from the McDonald "Fries"? Because I'm confident that once they've been aired, washed, cut, I spose frozen, then thawed and deep fried that the danger is the horrid thin potato dipped in boiling fat and oil clogging your heart, not any spray that was used on them.
There's lots of things like this that people get all excited over: "Gasp! Did you know that store carrots are sprayed with a horrid chemical to kill bugs?!"... Yes... Yes I knew farmers don't like it when crickets eat 50% of their vegetables and ruin another 20%. Did you know your body spray also contains evil chemicals!?... Stinky?
The point is to induce fear into everyone all the time in order to weaken the resilience of the population such that over time the states they occupy become an easier invasion target.
Wow... McDonalds is in on this grand plan? Cos they seem to want to make people larger, not smaller.
I meant of the entity ultimately resulting in the behavior of the person posting this and that's not $MCD.
Please share the evidence of what you state.
It's right there on their website they use multiple varieties.

OK well in that case, the last time I had McDonald's fries, they were made from potatoes that had that particular poison used in their cultivation.
This information is not FALSE, it is OUTDATED.
I want to know how an aphid effects a potato, that grows under ground. And what these 'off gasses' are.
Apparently, the aphid transmits a disease to the plant and this gives the potatoes some dark streaks.
I have grown potatoes in my garden and was surprised when I saw holes in the potatoes. I don't know if it was an aphid, but some kind of creature in the soil was drilling holes into the potatoes, and made them look less appetizing. But I don't spray poisons.
aphids attack leaves and stems (sapsuckers) and not under the soil
Aha, bingo, I've tied to explain this to certain people and they will not hear of it.
Thank you
Better yet, learn how to cook and begin really taking charge of your diet. Take up gardening too.
while on the topic of fries . . . potatoes are dead simple to raise, and twice-baked is better than fried, for julienne-cut potatos
I have my own deep fryer and make my own fries using organic potatoes and organic beef fat as a frying oil.
Best fries ever.
Top Ramen also has TBHQ https://www.healthline.com/health/food-nutrition/potential-tbhq-dangers
Yuck! But what's TBHQ?
Fuck if I know. I have an American education.
tert-Butylhydroquinone (TBHQ, tertiary butylhydroquinone) is a synthetic aromatic organic compound which is a type of phenol. It is a derivative of hydroquinone, substituted with a tert-butyl group.
oh THAT TBHQ ....
Rotten Ronnie's!
MMMM! = Mcdonald's Makes Messy Meals.
I see "organic" potatoes at the grocery store. McDonald's could try selling "organic" fries, free from all poison. Even with a price increase, some customers would like that option.
I agree. However, Organic foods require no contact with anything possibly containing pesticides.
In other words, the whole kitchen has to be organic or none of it technically is.
I have been considering how one might do with an all-organic fast food restaurant and my conclusion is that it would be ridiculously profitable.
Firstly, only the price of the ingredients would increase markedly. Everything else, the staff salaries, rent, equipment, etc. would obviously cost the same. Now a restaurant's costs are not mainly food, they are mainly this other stuff.
So say your food costs double what other restaurants pay, and you (obviously) advertise as ALL-ORGANIC. People will expect to pay at least a 50% premium over the crappy version, but the total cost would not be nearly 50% higher. End result: much greater profits.
Interesting business idea.
they used to be much better - long long ago
The fries used to be fried in lard, but jews didn't like that.
wasnt it beef fat
All the best fries are fried in beef fat.
He sounds like a jew who wants to short MCD.

Yeah I don't fuck with McDonald's. Fast food in general is straight toxic. Once you go a while without eating it, one fast food meal will make you feel like dogshit afterwards. People who eat it all the time have just conditioned their bodies to accept the poison.
