Seven percent of American adults believe that chocolate milk comes from brown cows.
That’s the finding from a survey conducted in April by the Innovation Center for U.S. Dairy, which asked more than 1,000 adults 18 and over where they thought chocolate milk came from.
The survey found 48 percent more aren’t sure even about that.
……
The Washington Post notes the survey findings reflect a general agricultural illiteracy among Americans: a 2011 survey of fourth, fifth- and sixth-graders at an urban California high school found more than half the kids didn’t know that pickles were cucumbers, or that onions and lettuce were plants. Four in 10 didn’t know that hamburgers came from cows — and 3 in 10 didn’t know that cheese is made from milk.
