They first take wood grain, potatoe paste and farmaldahyde into a forming mixture From there, the liquid is dumped into a "potatoe cake square mold" then flash frozen. After freezing a conveyer takes them to a slicing block where a specified number of fries is precisely cut from each mold. From there it's onto bagging and to your local McDonald's store! It's much more cost effective and healthier for the life of the fry. US fries cost 80% less than those used for McDonalds Canada and we are lucky the USDA allows such methods that would never be tolerated by other governments for human consumption! |

I can vouch it's all real and non gmo. The French fry plant is beautiful and clean and modern. The only bad thing is the canola oil the fries are fried in. |

Notice how they keep differentiating that the video represent McDonald's.ca Instead of McDonald's, Inc. There are already reports on how they are made in the us & they simply wanted to cover the "Canadian ass" |

Wow :-) China banned the use of potassium bromate in flour in 2005, as did several Western countries, including the European Union, Australia and New Zealand. It is still permitted in the US and Japan? [link to www.chinadaily.com.cn] VIRTUALBLOGNEWS [link to virtualblognews.altervista.org] |

No one is perfect. A babe before walking will first stumble and fall many times but NEVER gives up until he succeeds. Always remember, ultimately, to never follow any person's belief. Your relationship with God is between you and God. If nothing else, remember this: religion = subservience, control and conformity, the same template as EVERY government "Most believers would kill truth if truth threatened their religion." L. K. Washburn "This crime called blasphemy was invented by priests for the purpose of defending doctrines not able to take care of themselves." Robert Ingersoll "If anyone wants to know how God feels, it's a warm light as if the sun is poking through dark clouds and lifting your spirits with pure joy." |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 23011194 Apparently, the little fag said you can get them with no salt eh they do that. It is actually a great way to be sure you are gettign fries fresh out of the fryer, as they have to make a new batch just for you! As for whether or not i believe this vid, I do. I think they made it, not to answer questions about the fries (seriously, who questions the fries??) but to deflect questions away from their meat products. :malefav: I love this place!! |

Listen, I wouldn't feed McDonald's to my dog but you're wrong about this one. Selective breeding or monoculture has nothing to do with genetic modification whatsoever. GMOs are the biggest threat to the planets health but it's no help throwing the label around where it doesn't apply. That being said, GM potatoes WERE at one point used but when McDonald's realized it could effect their profits they forced producers to switch. McDonald's is the largest purchaser of potatoes, and apples among other things on Earth therefore all potato producers quit with GMO potatoes. The key to defeating GMOs is to make companies realize It's hurting their profits. |
