Fewer than half of young adults know butter comes from a dairy cow and a third do not know eggs come from hens, according to a survey.
More than a third of 16 to 23-year-olds (36%) do not know bacon comes from pigs and four in 10 (40%) failed to link milk with an image of a dairy cow, with 7% linking it to wheat, the poll of 2,000 people for charity Leaf (Linking Environment and Farming) found.
Some 41% correctly linked butter to a dairy cow, with 8% linking it to beef cattle, while 67% were able to link eggs to an image of a hen but 11% thought they came from wheat or maize.
A total of 6% of those questioned knew that salad dressing could come from rapeseed oil, compared with the national average among all age groups of 24%.
Although four in 10 young adults (43%) considered themselves knowledgeable about where their food comes from, the results revealed a "shocking" lack of knowledge about how the most basic food is produced, the charity said.
Leaf chief executive Caroline Drummond said: "We often hear reports that our food knowledge may be declining but this new research shows how bad the situation is becoming.

...Please tell me this is wrong. Okay, I didn't know about the rapeseed oil but I don't eat salad dressing very often.

1. Sources, sources, sources aka post your damn link where you read it. I could write bullshit if I wanted to, and call it news.
2. It also helps to mention that this article refers to those surveyed in the UK, which I think is a pretty important detail to have been conveniently left out here, because gee, I wonder which country has been the butt of jokes of being ignorant.
3. Data was collected by online poll. Ever had one of those where NO ONE gave troll answers on them?
4. Who the fuck knows that salad dressing comes from rapeseed oil?

I knew that bacon comes from pigs, eggs come from hens (I like to call them chickens :P) milk comes from dairy cows, and you churn milk from dairy cows to make butter, you can also get butter from sheep milk and goat milk.

Yes. Bacon comes from God. Pretty sure it's even in the bible somewhere. It's something along the lines of: And god said, let there be bacon: and there was bacon

I never trust surveys worth a crap...
1. Those 1,000 or whatever people don't form the whole statistic of society. Different nations, zones, whatever and races have different views and well... common sense.
2.I bet that half the people troll this crap... I would.
>>20 sounds like a line from Forest Gump... lol

Yes, let's blame music for everything, why don't we continue pinning on Marilyn Manson for influencing kids to commit violence while we're on that mindset?
