Where does food come from?

Where does food come from?: "Thousands of British children believe that cows lay eggs and many believe bacon comes from sheep, a survey by Dairy Farmers of Britain shows. More than 1000 children aged eight to 15 were asked where they thought food came from in the poll. Townies fared worst, with 8 per cent unaware that beef burgers originate from cattle."

Beef burgers not coming from cattle?? I suppose whether there is any beef in burgers has been questioned more than once. Eggs from cows?? My sister used to think that sausages were intestines and I just could not accept that peanuts grew in the ground. I am sure children have thought and will continue to think some hilarious things about food, but we are at a stage where many children grow up with paved court yards, bitumen and concrete. Many children do not get to enjoy and appreciate nature. Cattle, pigs and hens have been put into "factory" farming conditions so that children wouldn't see them roaming. I am certain we are at a stage where human beings no longer understand where things come from and how things are linked. It's why so many of them think that killing for food is cruel and would rather eat manufactured food from a packet. Marketing forces at work here.
