Do you know that McDonald's french fries had this ingredient? I knew they were bad, but I did not know that they were this bad. Very common defect of russet burbank potatoes, called net necrosis. And you've seen potatoes that are little brown lines sometimes, or spots that come through it. Well, McDonald's won't buy them if your potatoes have that. And the only way to eliminate that is to eliminate an aphid. And the only way to do that is with a pesticide called monitor that is so toxic that the farmers who grow these potatoes in Idaho won't venture outside into their fields for five days after they spray. And then when they harvest their potatoes, they have to put them in these atmosphere-controlled sheds, the size of a football stadium, because they're not edible for six weeks. They have to off-gas all the chemicals in them.
