French fries may seem to solely be hand cut slices of potatoes fried in vegetable oil in a deep fryer, but that is not all that goes into McDonalds French fries. The company adds “artificial flavors” to the oil, but is not specific on what the flavoring itself is. Schlosser and Wilson discover that McDonalds adds beef juice flavoring from the hamburgers to the batch of fries to add a distinguishing factor to their fries, despite advertising them as “vegetarian friendly”. They also use cruel methods to make their infamous chicken nuggets. McDonalds pays butchering farms to kill their chickens with inhumane tactics.
