Where do milk, eggs and bacon come from? One in three youths don't know
Daily Telegraph ^ | 6-14-12 | Telegraph reporters

Posted on 06/14/2012 2:25:36 PM PDT by TurboZamboni

More than a third of 16 to 23-year-olds (36%) do not know bacon comes from pigs and four in 10 (40%) failed to link milk with an image of a dairy cow, with 7% linking it to wheat, the poll of 2,000 people for charity Leaf (Linking Environment and Farming) found. Some 41% correctly linked butter to a dairy cow, with 8% linking it to beef cattle, while 67% were able to link eggs to an image of a hen but 11% thought they came from wheat or maize.

In Australia it’s the main market. I was surprised too when I got here and found out it was a food market and not a five and dime store.

Don’t underestimate these modern kids. The question of whether a chicken comes from an egg or an egg from a chicken has had philosophers scratching their heads for millenia!

This is a UK survey, right? So US kids would score lower.

And these same young people are allowed to vote.

what do you do when you shoot a Deer or Moose?

Keep it slowly simmering for a couple of weeks, adding water & veggies every day?

Bury it in beach sand, and let it sit over the winter, then drink it?

Or maybe lace it with with poison, and hope the nasty neighbors steal it. ;-)


Salt cure/corn; jerk; brine & smoke; pressure can it.

For long term keep of game meat without means to freeze. Cut up meat with the grain, in strips, slow smoke or dry it for jerky. No, it won’t be the same as the bagged flavored and tender jerky you get at the grocery store. It will be rock hard, require soaking in water to be cut up for cooking. Or, can whack off a chunk with axe, then chaw on it for a few hours to pass the time.

A few years ago there was a show with Amish and dingbat 20 somethings. One silly dingbat refused to eat an egg because it was an aborted chicken.

We don’t like venison, I know, I know it is just wonderful to most people but that is in the East where there is a lot of good things for them to eat and not just brush and juniper berries but we love it made into jerky. We make red chile, green chile, peppered and plain and we have to ration it.
