evidence: A March 25 Snopes "fact-check" verified that Gates does own a farm in Washington that grows potatoes for McDonald’s. But Snopes said statements made by other memes — claiming Gates supplies McDonald’s with all of its french fries and that they are grown at a "genetically modified potato farm" — were untrue. [...] "McDonald’s potatoes are sourced from farms all over the world. One potato supplier listed on the McDonald’s USA website is owned by Bill Gates’ investment firm, but it’s not true to say all potatoes used by the fast food chain are from Mr Gates." [...] Full Fact said the Gates-McDonald’s french fry memes got it wrong on the issue of genetically modified potatoes. "None of the potatoes from 100 Circles Farm are genetically modified," Full Fact said.
