I watched a thing and almost 40% of 12 year olds in a class didn't know where milk came from. Scary shit.
I went veg for 4 weeks at the beginning of last year before I had a whole pig roasted on a spit. I bought every fruit and vegetable I had never had before and ate them (usually cut fine and pan fried or baked in a pie). Even now I make a mean veg BBQ but it usually has a meat side.
Yeah, I'd seen the same thing. The survey I saw had a follow-up article written by the examiners. If people didn't know where milk (and cheese, I think) was from, they were expecting people to say they were made in factories. But the most common response was that people didn't know and didn't care.
I can't quote the figures about the meat survey because I've genuinely forgotten them but it was around the same age group as above and something like a half of them couldn't match up a picture of meat with the animal it came from. It wasn't difficult stuff, either. I think it was chicken, bacon, and steak. How can people think bacon is from a chicken?
Is it normal that when I see an animal I want to eat it?
