Many school children don’t know where milk comes from – as a survey revealed a staggering one-fifth didn’t know the white stuff comes from cows. Research has revealed the bizarre beliefs that primary school kids have about where basic essentials, such as bread and milk, and treats like chocolate originate from. Of the 1,000 children quizzed, one-fifth (21%) didn’t know milk comes from cows while a tenth (11%) believe milk comes from supermarkets. A fifth of carb-loving kids believe bread is made on a farm (18%) while one-in-ten (11%) believe chocolate is made there too. More than a third (36%) of the 6-11-year-olds surveyed think squash is better for them than milk, with almost half of 6-7-year-olds (43%) believing a glass of squash has more nutrition than a glass of milk. The research, by leading dairy cooperative Arla, revealed the lack of understanding may be compounded by the fact that one in ten (9%) had never been to a farm before.
