(original title: British primary school students lack common sense research: more than 30% believe that eggs are from cows)
According to foreign media reports, many primary school students in Britain lack basic knowledge of common food sources. Recently, a new survey shows that one-third of primary school students in Britain believe that eggs are laid by cows, and two-thirds do not know that tuna is fish.
It is reported that the survey was carried out by the British charity Chef School and kitchen utensils company 'Zanussi'. A total of 1000 children aged 6 to 11 participated in the survey. The results showed that one third of the pupils thought that the eggs were laid by cows; Two thirds of people don't know tuna is fish; One in ten people have never eaten virgin fruit.
Experts say British children lack sufficient knowledge of the source of food. Spokesman Chris? George said: 'we still have an important task to do, that is to ensure that the basic knowledge of food and sustainable diet can be taught to children earlier so that they can develop healthy eating habits.'
The report said that two years ago, the British Nutrition Foundation conducted a similar survey of 27500 children and found that one-third believed that cheese came from plants and tomatoes grew in the ground.
