Watch This Video & You’ll Never Eat McDonald’s French Fries Again
Michael Pollan is an author, activist, journalist and professor of journalism at
the UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism. He mainly focuses on the
industrial food chain with regards to his research. He emphasizes how cooking is
one of the simplest and most important steps people can take to improve their
family’s health, build communities, help fix our broken food system and perhaps
most importantly, break our growing dependence on corporations. Michael Pollan
is a food activist and you can find out more about him and his work by clicking

In the video below he 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.”

[vid] School Lunch Program=Garbage Disposal System "The school lunch program is by and large a disposal system for agricultural commodities. The farmers grow too much of various things, the government buys it from them to support their prices and their welfare and then dumps it on schools." he explains here. This is why you find mostly highly processed, fatty, terrible quality food in schools across the United States. It's worse than you think: there are rules the require the school lunch program to buy food from the lowest bidder. Imagine if you were forced to only buy and eat the absolute cheapest food available to you. This is what's for lunch for most of an American kids' childhood. No whole, local or organic foods enter the picture in this system. They can't compete. Furthermore, he tells us the schools no longer have kitchens -- only giant microwaves! They are totally dependent on processed food and couldn't even cook real meals if they had to.
