With the so-called ‘food movement’ sweeping across the nation, consumers are quickly becoming more curious about the foods they eat, in particular - where it comes from and what  it’s made with.

Global fast-food giant McDonalds is leading the way with a series of videos that seek to answer consumer’s questions about their products - by showing them what goes on behind the scenes.

The following video was created by McDonalds in response to consumer questions regarding their French fries and it takes us from the Farm into the Fryer.
