Interesting Fact - Farms
According to a survey carried out by the sustainable food and farming organisation Leaf (Linking Environment and Farming), more than one in three British children have never heard the classic farmyard sounds in real life.
(Increasingly, youngsters are only hearing the sound of nature through their computer or TV screen, which means they have never heard a real cow go “moo”, a sheep go “baa”, or a pig go "oink".
This means many kids are oblivious to where the food they eat comes from. 25% didn't know the names for baby cows, sheep, pigs or chickens, and more worryingly one in five had no idea bacon comes from pigs, while one in 20 thought we get cheese from them. Pig cheese? Eew!
My favourite was that 5% percent of the children surveyed believed strawberries grow inside the fridge. Which has a certain logic to it. At least they had thought about it a bit.)
