NEW YORK - A new study finds that children are not reliably accurate in identifying to origins of common foods.
Researchers found that 41-percent of children claimed that bacon came from a plant. A similar number of the children also thought hamburgers and hot dogs came from plants.
Kids between the ages of four and seven aren't likely to know much about anything really. I think that by the age of seven I would have known the difference between meat and vegetable products but probably not at four.
"The study was published in the Journal of Environmental Psychology. Its authors linked meat-eating to climate change."
Oh, written by people who aren't likely to know much about anything really.
So I spent the first part of my childhood in NYC (manhatten) where I went to school in Harlem. In the basement of my apt building there was a milk machine, 35 cents for a quart. In first grade they were teaching where milk came from, I called bullshit on milk coming from a cow, cause I knew it came from the machine in the basement.
Later on in life, I learned ALL about where stuff really came from as at 13 my folks moved us to a freaking commune in the Blue Ridge mtns. Talk about culture shock. I hate hippies and their juvenile intellect to this day. I damn near starved on that commune.
This goes back to a conversation I was having a few years ago with like-minded folks; "70% of people would die of starvation standing in a wheat field, next to a cow."

That story right there could most definitely be weaved into a good book or at least 90 minutes of screenplay.

The stuff someone will find to research never ceases to amaze me. I'd file this in the "well duh" category.

ReplyDeleteThe best time of year is when the bacon trees come into full bloom.
ReplyDeleteThat Farmer selling bacon seeds to City folks ain't right, but funny.....
