Experts say there is a huge gap in the knowledge of today's children about the origin of food.
Surprising facts come out of a recent British survey: one-third of primary school students believe that eggs come from a cow, while only three out of ten children in the age group of six to eleven know that tuna is a species of fish. And one in ten hasn't eaten a cherry tomato yet - reads the Daily Mail article.
An earlier 2017 survey conducted by the British Food Foundation with 27,500 children also found that one in three children found cheese to grow and tomatoes to grow underground.
Chris George, a spokesman for the latest survey by Zanussi, says that we have an important task ahead of us, as we need to introduce children to basic concepts and teach them about sustainable nutrition as they develop healthy habits.
