British children are ignorant of where their food originates from, 13% said they thought chips {fries} contained only fat, and were made from apples. This is in spite of the children attending classes,where the focus is on the nutritional value,and the content,of everyday foods.

I think sometimes us adults forget where our foods come from as well. We don't always realize all the stuff that makes up the sauces and the like that's say, high in salt.

Absolutely adults an become complacent, but these children were being educated, I think they just chose to forget.

WEll, they got the important bit right, chips contain mostly fat and therefore are bad for you, they have chips made from apples too actually, wellin the south they do.

well children are just starting to learn where food comes from. anyway, chips come from potatoes mostely. they eat whatever they like and want so, they don't know. especially pre scholars and older kids as well as teens. like me I eat whatever i want and don't gain weight as yo all can see. but there a lot of girls who are on diets and can't eat certain things because of either acne or other problems
