Farmers won't even go out into their field for like 5 or 6 days after they've sprayed it

The potatoes are underground so I don't really care what they spray the plant with.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

Well the fries aren't vegan either because they're seasoned with beef flavoring

Turns out it's not legit
https://fullfact.org/online/McDonalds-pesticide-Monitor-false/#:~:text=Several%20social%20media%20posts%20claim,approved%20for%20use%20for%20years.

Several social media posts claim that a pesticide called Monitor is used to grow potatoes for McDonalds french fries. But this is not true in the UK, EU and US at least, where the pesticide has not been approved for use for years.

Many of the posts quote claims that were originally made by journalist and author Michael Pollan in a speech at a Royal Society of Arts event in 2013. Some posts link to footage of him speaking and have thousands of shares.

But these posts fail to explain that Monitor has not been approved for use in the US since 2009 and the EU since 2008. McDonalds 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.

I assume you mean treated. They might yet treated by something else but no longer the chemical monitor. Doesn't say anything about countries outside the US and EU
